Step 2: Take the bacon slices and cook in a skillet over medium heat. Drain, crumble and set aside.
Step 3: In a large saucepan, melt your butter over medium-high heat and whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly pour in a little milk at a time and continue to stir. Slowly add the milk to allow it to thicken slightly.
Step 4: Add in the potatoes and the chopped green onion and stir. Increase heat slightly until your mixture comes to a boil. Lower heat and allow the soup to simmer, and stirring frequently. While simmering, go ahead and chop your bacon slices.

Pinning this RIGHT NOW! I feel like my hubby would LOVE this soup! :)-Ashley
I sent this recipe to my husband this afternoon with a little note that said, “Hint hint.” Sadly, a snowstorm hit our town today and he couldn’t stop at the grocery store on the way home because the roads were too dangerous.
Tomorrow, maybe!
You still have time to make it….I won’t take it off the blog 🙂 You will love it, it’s delicious!
We love soup in the wintertime. This looks delicious! Pinning! I made a great soup last night and of course I was flying by the seat of my pants and wrote nothing down. But I can duplicate it. I think it’s a blog post!
