Baked Potato Soup
4 large potatoes, scrubbed Bake potatoes until fork tender Cut potatoes in half and scoop out (flake potatoes)--Chop 1/2 of the peels in small pieces (discard other half of peels)
In heavy kettle
Melt 2/3 cup butter
Add 2/3 cup flour (whisk together)
Add 1 and 1/2 quarts milk Stir constantly till thickened
salt and pepper to taste
Add potato and skins
Add 4 green onions -chopped (I use about 1/4 cup instant minced onion)
1 cup sour cream
1 and 1/2 cup crisp-cooked, crumbled bacon
5 oz. finely grated cheddar cheese (heat through) do not let it boil
Mix all over low heat until cheese melts

(When I do this at home, I sprinkle the bacon and the cheese on top of the hot soup--for group it will work better to have it all in the soup like the recipe says to do, I just like the bacon to stay really crisp.)

Peel, chop and cook about 8 potatoes until very soft, meanwhile chop and saute in butter one large onion, 2 stalks of celery, stir into potatoes, add 16 oz sour cream, salt and pepper to taste. If there is any leftovers I have also added small can of chopped clams for clam chowder.

Use any one of the wonderful recipes and serve with corn bread or corn muffins.. I always add some instant mashed potato flakes to mine while it's cooking.

POTATO SOUP
Here's a great recipe for an old favorite.

1 carrot, sliced and peeled
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 cups vegetable stock
8 tablespoons butter

2 cups milk
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, carrots, onions, and stock. Bring
to a
boil over a medium heat. After this reaches a boil, reduce the heat and

simmer until the vegetables are soft.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Using a wooden spoon,
stir
for 2 minutes. One half cup at a time, add the milk and cook until
smooth.
Add the cheese and stir until the mixture is thickened. Add the mixture
to
the soup, and add salt and pepper to taste.
