Easy Baked Potatoe Soup

Ingredients:

6 medium potatoes, baked
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. butter
4 Tbsp. flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 strips of bacon, cooked and coarsely chopped

Directions:

In a large pot cook onions in the butter until translucent and slightly golden.

Add the flour, making a roux. Keep stirring, it will be a thick thick batter.

Slowly add the chicken and milk while whisking. Continue to whisk until there are no more lumps. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a medium simmer. Stir frequently so it doesn't burn.

While liquid comes to a boil peal the baked potatoes and coarsely 'mash' them. Some small chunks are good. Add to the liquid and stir.

Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Serve with cheese, sour cream, green onions or chives and top with bacon.

Notes: I did not have time to bake the potatoes in the oven so I bake them in the microwave and they were still super yummy without all the added time.
