Fully Loaded Baked Potato Soup

~~One of my daddy's favorites of my creations....a wonderful, rich, thick soup with all the flavors of a loaded baked potato. Cooking the potatoes first just a bit adds another depth of flavor. I've never seen a recipe with the same preparation, and it makes all the difference!
Ingredients
- About 2lbs baking potatoes, scrubbed and cubed small, but not peeled shopping list
- 1/2lb bacon, sliced into "bits" pieces(see photo), uncooked shopping list
- 4 cups chicken stock shopping list
- 4 green onions, sliced shopping list
- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 1/4 cup flour shopping list
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded shopping list
- 1 cup(8oz) sour cream shopping list
- salt and fresh ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Cook bacon in large soup pan or dutch oven(use cast iron, if you have it!:), until just crisp See Photo. Save a bit aside, if desire, for garnish
- Add potatoes to bacon and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes until they begin to cook.
- Add stock, green onions, and pepper and continue to cook on medium/medium high(don't boil) until taters are tender(time will depend on the size of the potatoes and desired doneness. I prefer these a lil less soft than for other soups.
- Whisk together the flour with the milk until completely combined.
- Add to pan and stir while heating and thickening. It's okay to get to a very low boil, but turn it down right away, if it does, so you don't scald your milk.
- Add shredded cheese and salt, if needed, and more pepper
- Once cheese is melted, stir in sour cream
- Serve garnished with bacon bits and green onion tops, if desired
