Baked Potato Soup

Baked Potato Soup
DeAnn Campbell

(I usually triple or even 4x this recipe to make a big batch)

4 medium baked potatoes (I usually bake them and let them cool completely, they are easier to cut up that way).
2 Tablespoons butter
1/3 c. chopped green onion
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken broth
1 cup half & half
salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings:
sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
bacon bits
chives (optional)

Saute green onions in butter. Add chicken soup, chicken broth, and half & half. Stir together until smooth. Add cut up cubes of baked potatoes. Heat thoroughly. Salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve baked-potato style with shredded cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and chives on top.

Note: I like to only use the "real" bacon bits in this soup for the topping.
