#Mycookbook So we all know this soup is fatty. I try to make it a wee bit better by using 1% milk.. but let's face it.. it's not a low fat dish! Enjoy!!! (Add franks red hot to kick it up a bit)

Steps

1

In large pot: melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour. Let cook for few minutes
2

Add milk 1 cup at a time until all 7 cups added. (Continue whisking)
3

Continue whisking milk until thickens.
4

Once thick. Add your potatoes and stir. Mash some of the potatoes with the back of the spoon against the sides of the pot to add different textures.
5

Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream, bacon and cheese.
6

Serve immediately with chopped green onions, bacon crumbles and shredded cheese
7

SHORTCUT NOTE: If you dont have potatoes already baked and ready to go. In a separate pot boil your potatoes until soft, then transfer to your soup pot (where you've made your rue) and continue with step 4 ♡♡♡♡ equally delicious! I find russet and yellow potatoes work best for this soup
