Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 medium potatoes (about 2 cups chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced white onion
2 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups instant mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon (as a mostly-vegetarian, I would omit this) (optional)
2 green onions, chopped (green part only!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake the potatoes for an hour, or until done.
  • When potatoes have cooked remove them from oven to cool.
  • As potatoes cool, melting butter in large saucepan, and saute onion until light brown.
  • Add the flour to the onions and stir.
  • Add stock, water, cornstarch, mashed potato flakes, and spices to the pot and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out contents with a large spoon.
  • Discard skin.
  • Chop baked potato with a large knife to make chunks that are about 1/2-inch in size.
  • Add chopped baked potato and half and half to saucepan, bring soup back to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer the soup for another 15 minutes or until it is thick.
  • Spoon about 1 1/2 cups of soup into a bowl and top with about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, a 1/2 tbs of bacon (if you want!) and a teaspoon or so of chopped green onion.
