10 medium potatoes
1 medium onion
2 cans chicken broth
1 can cheddar cheese soup
5 cups milk
8 oz sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Recipe
Bake 5 of the potatoes. We typically do it in the microwave to save time and it seems to work perfectly, but you can do them in the oven if you prefer.
Peel the other 5 potatoes and dice them roughly.
Chop the onion.
Combine the diced raw potatoes and chopped onion with 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt and 2 cans of chicken broth in a large stock pot.
Simmer until potatoes are done.
Once the potatoes are soft, mash everything in the stock pot together with a potato masher.
Add 1 can of cheddar cheese soup, 8 oz sour cream, 1 stick of butter and 5 cups of milk.
Stir to combine and heat through.
Peel and roughly chop the baked potatoes and add them to the soup along with 2 cups of cheddar cheese.
Season to taste.
Top with chopped green onions, more cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon if desired.
