Baked Potato Soup recipe

so here goes

This is easy-peasy!

Ingredients:

6 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

4 medium baked potatoes (skins on)

1/3 cup chopped green onions

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup 1/2 and 1/2

salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

sour cream

your favorite cheese (grated)...I like cheddar or co-jack

fresh chives, parsley or green onions for garnish

1. Bake potatoes, cool

(they don't have to get too cool....just cool enough to handle)

and cut in small chunks

2. In medium pan, melt margarine and sautee onions

3. Add potatoes,

chicken soup,

broth,

1/2 and 1/2,

salt and pepper to taste;

crumbled bacon,

a dollop of sour cream and

green garnish of your choice.
