I'm not usually a fan of potato soup, but I love this one.
Heather's Potato Soup
5 lbs. potatoes, peeled and baked
1/2 gallon milk
2 (or more) sticks butter
1/4 cup flour (approx.)
salt
pepper
garlic powder
8 oz. sour cream
1 cup (or more) cheddar cheese
8-10 slices of bacon, cooked until crisp
In a large stockpot, whisk milk, butter, flour, and seasonings until hot. The seasonings aren't measured. You'll use lots of salt and ground black pepper and probably about a teaspoon of garlic powder. When almost boiling, cut potatoes into smallish chunks and add to milk mixture. Heat thoroughly. Be sure to watch it closely, because the milk has a tendency to boil over. Just before serving, stir in sour cream, cheese, and bacon. Taste for seasoning. I almost always have to add more butter, salt, and pepper at this point. Undersalted potatoes are a travesty. Serve in big mugs and top with more cheese.
