Baked Potato Soup...

4 large baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
6 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
2 cups cooked bacon (crumbled)
5 oz. grated cheese
4 green onions (optional)
salt and pepper

Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake the potatoes until tender.  Melt butter in a saucepan.  Slowly blend in flour with wire whisk until thoroughly blended.  Gradually add milk to the butter/flour mixture, whisking constantly.  Whisk in salt and pepper and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly.  Cut the potatoes in half, scoop out the insides and set aside.   When milk is hot, whisk in potatoes.  Whisk well, add sour cream and crumbled bacon.  Heat thoroughly.  Add cheese a little at a time until it is melted.
