Recipe Blog Hop

I totally should be in bed but stumbled upon this recipe blog hop from one of the blogs that I read. My tastebuds are watering and I can't wait to try some of the recipes I have found!

I absolutely love Baked Potato Soup from O'Charleys but unfortunately I only got one bowl of it while we were home in the states visiting. Here is my recipe to add along to the Blog Hop!

Baked Potato Soup:

Ingredients:

12 slices bacon
2/3 cup margarine
2/3 cup all purpose flour
7 cups of milk
4 large baked potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned. Drain, crumble, set aside.
In a stock pot or dutch oven, melt margarine over medium heat.
Whisk in flour until smooth.
Gradually stir in milk, whisking constantly until thickened.
Stir in potatoes and onions. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes.
Mix in bacon, cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this soup!!
