This is the recipe I am going to try! <p>
4 medium baked potatoes
2 slices bacon
1/2 c celery, chopped
1/2 c green onions, thinly sliced
1 can chicken broth
1 1/2 c milk
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 c sour cream
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese (I actually use a lot more!)<p>
Scoop potatoes out of skins and coarsely mash. In medium pan, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towel to drain, crumble and set aside. Discard all but 1/2 tsp drippings in pan. Add broth, milk, potatoes, celery, onions, garlic, salt and pepper to drippings. Bring to a boil; reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream and reserved bacon. (This is also where I add extra cheese.) Garnish each serving with cheddar cheese.<p>
I never follow a recipe exactly so we will see how it turns out! I forgot green onions, though and i made my own chicken broth last night from the roasted chicken. The notes on the cheese are not mine, but from a place where I found it.
Hehe,
I never follow recipes exactly either, and some of my best dishes have come from experimentation. That soup sounds delicious, though, you'll have to let us all know how it turns out!

Definitely post about whether it turns out good or not. It sounds wonderful.
I have enjoyed your frugal posts too. I wish we had snow and ice for ice skating and skiing.
