RESTAURANT STYLE BAKED POTATO SOUP
LEFT OVER BAKED POTATOES STOP HERE! Who dosen't like potato soup?! This one is infused with an amazing basil flavor. It is very authentic, but the basil gives it a little something wonderful..a new dimension if you will. I bet having leftover baked potatoes from a grill would really bring a new smoky flavor to this soup if you've got em'.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Wrap them individually in foil and bake until they are soft when squeezed, about 1 hour (see Cook's Note). Let the potatoes cool slightly.
- While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a small skillet, in a microwave or on an indoor grill until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into the thickened milk mixture. Add the Cheddar, salt, pepper, green onions and reserved bacon. Cook over low heat just until heated through, then stir in the sour cream. Garnish with shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions and serve with more sour cream on the side.

Tips:
- For the best results, use russet potatoes. They are starchy and will give the soup a creamy texture.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender. You can check this by inserting a knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will make them easier to peel and mash.
- If you don't have time to bake the potatoes, you can microwave them. Just prick them with a fork and microwave them on high for 5-7 minutes per potato, or until they are tender.
- To make the soup creamier, use a blender or immersion blender to puree it. You can also mash the potatoes with a potato masher.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add shredded cheese, bacon, or other toppings.
