My sister Amy is an amazing cook. I don’t know how she finds time to do it all, but she does. Every time I stop by her house she has a new recipe cooking on the stove and some kind of dessert sitting on the counter {not to mention the house is spotless}. It always tastes great! When I started this blog I asked her to submit some of her recipes. She just sent me this picture and recipe of Baked Potato Soup. She’s tried several versions and this is her and her husband’s favorite recipe out of all the ones she’s made. Doesn’t it look good? Thanks Amy!
Baked Potato Soup – submitted by Amy {print recipe}
6-7 large russet potatoes
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream
5 bacon strips
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil for 10 minutes or until tender {a fork should easily pierce the potato}. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; whisk in sour cream. Add potatoes. Garnish with bacon, cheese and green onions. Yields 5 servings.
