Baked Potato Soup

Ingredients
4 large potatoes, baked, and scooped out of skins (discard skins). I use more than that, more like 8 medium ones
2/3 c Butter (real butter)
2/3 c Flour
6 c milk
1c shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 green onions, chopped
8 slices of bacon, fried until crisp and crumbled (or microwaved if you're lazy like me)
8 oz sour cream (I use fat-free, as there's enough fat elsewhere!)

Directions
1. Melt butter over low heat.
2. Add flour and stir until smooth.
3. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Add milk gradually, cooking over medium heat and stirring until thick.
5. Add potatoes, salt, pepper, onion, cheese and bacon.
6. Cook until heated. It will thicken more with the potatoes.
7. Stir in sour cream and garnish with any cheese or bacon you thought to set aside.
