Baked Potato Soup

2 large baking potatoes
3 Tbsp. sliced green onion
1/3 cup margarine or butter
1/3 cup flour
2 tsp dill (optional - I never use this)
1/3 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 cups milk
3/4 cup cheese
3 Tbsp. green onion
4 slices bacon, crisp cooked and crumbled

Bake potatoes and let cool. Cut potatoes in half and scoop out pulp, discard skins.

In saucepan cook 3 tbsp. green onion in margarine or butter till tender, stir in flour, dill, salt and pepper. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add the potato pulp and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Stir until cheese melts.

Garnish each serving with remaining cheese, green onion and bacon.




This soup is even better with more cheese and bacon added!
