Sharing is Caring

Hey, y’all! Today took a turn for the cold side here in the great state of Arkansas, so what better way to celebrate a chilly night at home than with a nice bowl of my mom’s 5 step potato soup! I am going to be crafting tonight {Cholla needs a new puppy bed..tutorial to come!}, and pajamas and a big bowl of soup sounds mmm mmm good. Sharing is caring, so let’s get right to it..

 

Ingredients<3

·         4 large baking potatoes

·         2/3 cup flour

·         ¾ tsp salt

·         4 green onions, copped

·         1 ¼ cups shredded cheese

·         2/3 cup butter

·         6 cups milk

·         Ground pepper

·         Pkg bacon bits {I usually cook bacon and chop it up}

Directions<3

{Step One}: Bake potatoes at 400 degrees for an hour and 20 minutes. Cool. Scoop pulp into small bowl and discard the skins.

{Step Two}: Over low heat, melt butter in large pot. Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

{Step Three}: Add milk gradually, stirring well after each addition. Cook over medium, until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.

{Step Four}: Add potato pulp, 2 tbs green onions, ½ cup bacon bits, and 1 cup cheese. Cook until heated thoroughly. Stir in sour cream. Add additional milk, if needed.

{Step Five}: Sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, green onions, and cheese. Enjoy! <3

 

Having guests? Bonus points if you buy a few bread bowls from Panera and put the soup in them! Hope you all enjoy! XO
