Baked Potato Soup

Hi Friends!
How was your Christmas? Ours was great! We've spent the last few days visiting with family and friends as much as we can before the New Year begins.
As promised, I'm excited to share my mom's recipe for Baked Potato Soup with you! It is one of my favorite meals and we have it every Christmas Eve. I look forward to the meal all year long...

Ingredients

6 Large Baking Potatoes
2/3 Cup Butter
2/3 Cup Flour
6 Cups Milk
1 Pound Cooked Bacon, Crumbled
8 Ounces Sour Cream
2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 bag Oyster Crackers

Directions

Bake the Potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour, turning over after 30 mins.
Scoop out potato pulp and place in bowl.
In stock pot, melt butter and flower, slowly add potato and milk until thick.
Right before serving, add sour cream to soup.
Top soup with cheese, bacon and Oyster Crackers.

*Add milk if soup seems to thick.
** I would have taken a picture of the soup in the bowl with all the fixin's but I was so excited to eat it that I forgot :)
