2/3 cup flour
7 cups of milk
4 large potatoes, baked & chopped
3 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
12 pieces bacon, cooked crisp and chopped (turkey bacon works well too)
1/2 c shredded cheese (doesn't take much with this soup and I'm a cheese lover)
1 cup sour cream (optional, I totally leave this out...hahaha)
Put your potatoes in the microwave to bake. Start your bacon in a skillet. While they are cooking take a large dutch oven and melt your butter. Add flour slowly while whisking into the butter forming a roux. Don't let the roux brown. Once butter and flour are mixed begin slowly adding your milk. Don't stop whisking! Add salt & pepper.Let simmer, stirring occasionally at this point, for 10 more minutes. Add potatoes and sour cream. Stir gently. Add bacon, allow to simmer 5 more minutes. Serve with cheddar cheese on top :)
