 2 large baking potatoes 
 3 tablespoons butter 
 6 tablespoons sliced green onion 
 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
 2 teaspoons fresh chives 
 1/4 teaspoon salt 
 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
 4 cups milk 
 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

 Directions
  

 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

once; cook and stir for 12 to 16 minutes or until thickened 
and bubbly. Add the potato and 1 cup of the cheese; stir 
until cheese is melted.

 4. Ladle in to a soup bowl and top each with remaining 
cheese, remaining green onion, and bacon.
