FANCY BAKED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Scrub potatoes under running water.
• Pat dry.
• Prick potatoes a few times with a fork.
• Bake potatoes in pre-heated oven until tender, about 40 to 60 minutes.
• Remove potatoes and allow them to cool.
• When cool, cut each potato in half, lengthwise.
• Then, scoop out each potato and discard (or save for another use) the skins.
• In a large saucepan, heat butter, add and cook green onion until tender. Stir in flour, dill, salt and pepper.
• Add milk all at once and stir until thickened and bubbly.
• Then, cook for one more minute.
• At this point, add the potato pulp and 1/2 of the cheese.
• Stir until cheese melts.
• Now, you're ready:.
• Pour soup into pre-heated bowls.
• Garnish each serving with some of the remaining cheese, green onion and bacon.
• Don't mix or layer the garnishes. Rather, place each in its own spot atop the soup.
• Enjoy.
