Megan, in honor of potato soup-picture later, sorry!

Baked Potato Soup
(allrecipes.com)

• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups milk, whatever you have
  
• 5 large baking potatoes, scrubbed
• 1 cup sour cream
• any additional toppings and seasonings- green onions, salt, pepper, lemon pepper, cheese, etc.
  

1. Microwave potatoes until done.
2. While potatoes are cooking make a roux over low to medium heat. Mix butter, margarine, or light olive oil, and flour. DO NOT BURN THE ROUX. When roux is thickened a bit (just takes a couple minutes), gradually blend in milk. Continue cooking over low to medium heat while preparing potatoes.
3. Peel and cut up potatoes. You may want to mash some of the potatoes also (DO). Add potatoes to the milk mixture. Blend in sour cream. Soup is ready to be served.

Our whole family loved this soup and it was gone in no time! It was the right thickness, and great with rolls. This soup calls for no additional seasonings, but needs whatever you like. I threw in a bouillon cube and salt and pepper. We liked lemon pepper too. I skipped the sour cream at the end because it didn't seem to need that but you can add it to individual bowls. A quick, yummy soup perfect for the cold days!
