When I worked in the corporate bank every Thursday in the caf they served stuffed potato soup. It was love at 1st taste. The flavor was so robust & the soup was really filling. I knew I had to learn how to make it. I carefully analyzed the caf's soup & googled.

Steps

45 mins

1

Measure, chop and set aside your ingredients
2

In a skillet cook the bacon and place on paper towel saving the bacon grease
3

In a med. sized stock pot or sauce pan, pour in bacon grease and butter heating to medium
4

Whisk in the flour to brown, cooking the flour for about 1.5 mintues
5

You should now have a nice base/roux to start slowly adding your milk into
6

Slowly add in your milk as the base thickens cooking for about 2 minutes, then add your potatoes and green onions and bring mixture to boil
7

Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes stirring constantly to prevent sticking
8

Once the potatoes have become tender, add the sour cream, shredded cheese, salt & pepper and continue to let the pot simmer until the desired thickness of your soup is reached. You can add more milk to lighten the consistency
9

Add a few pieces of crumbled bacon to the soup just before serving

Once the bowls are filled, garnish with additional bacon crumbles, green onions and shredded cheese. ENJOY!
