Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the potatoes for 1 hour or until done. When potatoes have cooked remove them from the oven to cool.

As potatoes cool prepare soup by melting butter in a large saucepan, and saute onion until light brown. Add the flour to the onions and stir to make a roux.

Add stock, water, cornstarch, mashed potatoes, and spices to 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 the saucepan, bring the soup back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer the soup for another 15 minutes or until thick.

Spoon about 1 1/2 cups of soup into a bowl and top with about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, a half-tablespoon of crumbled bacon and a teaspoon or so of chopped green onion. Repeat for remaining servings.
