Instructions:
- Wash potatoes and prick several times with fork; bake at 400 F for 1 hour or until done. Let cool. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, then scoop out the potato; set aside.

- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add the flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
- Add the potato, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of green onions, about 1/2 cup of the fried crumbled bacon, and 1 cup cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated; stir in sour cream. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more milk. Taste and adjust seasonings.
