Idaho Baked Potato Soup is one of my all time favorite soups for fall. Imagine a big baked potato smothered in butter, bacon, cheese, and sour cream. Now imagine it hot and ready on your stove all day long!
This soup smells wonderful and is so filling. It lasts pretty well in the fridge and heats up nicely for lunch. It's probably not a good cantidate for freezing, but we never got that far. For more family favorites, clicky here.
This recipe is from my sister-in-law. She's an Idaho girl. =]
Idaho Baked Potato Soup
½ c butter
½ c flour7 c milk
4 lg potatoes, baked, cubed, and peeled
4 green onions, sliced
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 c sour cream
1 t salt
½ t pepper
Melt butter in a large soup pot. Stir in flour. Heat and
stir until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened. If you pour it
all in at once, it takes forever to heat and doesn’t seem to thicken. The dump
it all together method does not save time on this one.
Add potatoes and onion. Bring to a boil, stirring
constantly. Reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Stir
until cheese is melted. Makes 2 ½ quarts.
