Baked Potato Soup

1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup flour
3 1/2 cups milk
4 to 5 large baking potatoes, oven-baked and cut into bite-sized pieces
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
onion salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, melt butter. Stir in flour and heat until smooth. Whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Add potatoes. Simmer until soup is desired consistency. Soup will continue to thicken as it cools. Stir in bacon, cheese, and sour cream. Season to taste. Makes 4-5 servings.

Hint: a bag of Hormel Real Crumbled Bacon is convenient and delicious for recipes and omelets.
