This is one of the best potato soups I have had in a long time. My family loves this when I make it. Tip: I find it is better if you season your potatoes prior to baking them.

Ingredients
Serves: 7
2/3 cups butter
2/3 cups flour
7 cups milk
4 large baking potatoes, baked, cooled, peeled and cubed
4 green onions, thinly sliced
10 to 12 strips bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot over low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour; stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Add potatoes and onions. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until soup begins to bubble. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; stir until cheese is melted. Serve baked potato soup immediately.
My family loves this recipe! It isn't necessarily "hard" to make, you just have to make sure you stir the milk constantly so that you don't scorch it. It reheats well although I like to garnish with a little extra cheese and bacon because the bacon will lose a little of its crispiness once you add it to the soup.
