Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large stock pot, cook bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the pot. Cook the onions in the remaining bacon grease for about 5 minutes, until tender.

Add potatoes and chicken stock to pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer about 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. With a slotted spoon, remove a few scoops of potatoes. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork. Set aside.

In a small sauce pan, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, bring to boil and simmer until thickened. Slowly stir into stock pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer. Stir mashed potatoes back into pot.

Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese, three-fourths of the bacon and half the sliced green onions to the pot. Add pepper. Stir to combine. Cook an additional 5 minutes.

Fully Loaded Baked Potato Soup Fully Loaded Baked Potato Soup
I make this when the weather starts to turn cold.A couple of notes on preparation:••• I like to make this on the first cold days of the year. It's hearty and warming and delicious. ••• If the soup gets too thick while it boils, add a little milk and let it cook in for a minute. If it gets too runny, mix some flour and a small amount of half and half in a separate container, and pour that into the soup instead. I like it thick, but this could easily become gravy by accident.Also, consider the fat content of a meal made with a pint of half and half. You can use milk instead, but the soup will be less creamy and flavorful. You can use whole cream to make it really rich, but this is really too thick. A good compromise is to mix half and half with milk if you wish to decrease fat content while retaining texture.

This family favorite is rich and hearty, kicked up a notch with the addition of crispy deep-fried potato skins and golden garlic chips. Prepping the soup toppings is the only time-consuming part, and I usually do that the day before. #Fakeaway
