Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Well..it snowed today… so grilling is done and casseroles and soups are making a comeback in my kitchen. This creamy backed potato soup is stick to the ribs delicious. I prefer mine with ham to give it more flavor. This is my daughters favorite soup meal, serve with a hearty breadstick or two and you are set for the evening. I apologize for dropping the spoon in the soup but it happens to all of us.

Ingredients

Recipe: 4 Large Baking Potatoes 2/3 cup butter 2/3 cup flour 6 cups of milk 1 tsp lemon pepper 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese Bacon pieces about 12 slices or a 1/2 cup of the bagged pieces. 1 cup of sour cream (optional but better with it) 1 1/2 cups of cubed ham (also optional but its hearty)

Instructions

Bake potatoes 1 hour at 425 degrees until tender. Cut in half and scoop out the insides, discard shells. Melt butter over low heat in a soup kettle, add flour stirring until smooth. Cook stirring constantly for one minute. Gradually add milk and cook over low heat until thick and bubbly. Stir in potatoes, lemon pepper, 1 cup of cheese, bacon and ham. Cook until heated through, add sour cream if desired. Serve with remaining cheese, bacon and sour cream on top.
