Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium potatoes (baked)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Vidalia onion diced finely
  • 2 tablespoons Flour
  • 4 cups Chicken stock about 2 cans
  • 2 cups Coldwater
  • 5 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups Instant mashed potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Basil
  • teaspoon Thyme
  • 1 ½ cups Half-and-half
  • cup Cheddar cheese,
Garnish
  • ½ cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup Crumbled cooked bacon
  • 2 Green onions (sliced thinly)

Instructions
 

  • Add the diced onions to melted butter and cook for a few minutes until translucent, but not browned.
  • Cook for a minute, stirring gently, after scattering the flour over the onions. Add the stock and simmer until the onions are tender.
  • Combine cornstarch and COLD water in a small bowl.
  • Over medium-high heat, add instant mashed potato flakes, dissolved cornstarch water, and seasonings to the saucepan, whisking gently until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Frequently whisk the mixture as it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
  • Using a large spoon, scoop out the contents of the baked potatoes by cutting the potatoes in half lengthwise and making a few slits in them.
  • Add the potato pieces to the soup base along with 1/3 cup crumbled cheddar cheese and half-and-half. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Garnish & Serve
  • Before serving, top with about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, and chopped green onions.
