Cook bacon and set aside.

Cook onions in bacon drippings until transparent.

Add flour, whisking, and cook 3 to 5 minutes until it starts to turn golden.

I can't wait to try your baked potato soup that sounds delicious! I love baked potato soup. I like it thick enough to coat the spoon, but fluid enough to have nice broth... Yummmmm.....
