Ingredients
* 4 (6-ounce) red potatoes - I add more potatoes * 2 teaspoons olive oil * 1/2 cup prechopped onion * 1 1/4 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth * 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour * 2 cups 1% low-fat milk, divided * 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 3 bacon slices, halved * 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese * 4 teaspoons thinly sliced green onions
1. Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave on HIGH 13 minutes or until tender. Cut in half; cool slightly.
2. While potatoes cook, heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add broth. Combine flour and 1/2 cup milk; add to pan with 1 1/2 cups milk. Bring to a boil; stir often. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
3. Arrange bacon on a paper towel on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel; microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes. Crumble bacon.
4. Discard potato skins. Coarsely mash potatoes into soup. Top with cheese, green onions, and bacon.
** I peel potatoes and boil in water - not microwave.
** I usually get at least 6 - 1 cup servings.
** I usually add milk in the left overs.
** I use an immersion blender to blend the soup in same pot
