3 large russet potatoes
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
2 TB butter
2 TB flour
2 c. milk
1/2 c. sour cream
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Clean and peel potatoes and cut into medium sized chunks. Boil in salted water until cooked through. Pour into a sieve (you do not need to retain the cooking water).
In a large soup pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for 2 minutes. The add the flour and whisk briskly for about 5 minutes, forming a roux. Whisk in the milk. Cook for another 5-8 minutes, stirring often, until milk thickens slightly. Add the potatoes to the pan. Using a potato masher, carefully mash the potatoes in the soup to desired consistency.
Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions to the soup and continue to let cook.
When soup is heated all the way through, add salt and pepper to taste. Right before serving, stir in the crumbled bacon. Extra green onions, cheese, sour cream and bacon can be used for garnish.Recipe
