We’re big soup fans — and baked potatoes — and this is a favorite my sister and I experimented and came up with one winter:
Ingredients
- approximately 1/2 box of instant mashed potatoes (Idahoan brand recommended)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (or milk)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 6 green onions (chopped)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 strips of bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 packet of loaded backed potato seasoning or salad topping
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Fill a Dutch oven about 1/3 way full with water and bring to a boil. Add instant potatoes until it reaches a soupy consistency — you do not want them thick. Lower heat and stir in heavy whipping cream, sour cream, cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped onions and seasonings.
Top with additional cheddar cheese and green onions to serve
Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that 
qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...
