Tracy's Baked Potato Soup

Ingredients:

1 Large onion diced
1 stick of butter
1 quart half & half
1 pint heavy cream
1 bunch of scallions chopped small
4-6 cups of chicken stock or bouillon cubes
2 bags of Idaho Roasted Garlic Mashed Potato mix
(it thickens the soup and gives it flavor instead of a rue, or what ever you prefer)
5 pound bag of potatoes peeled and chopped into bite size pieces, boiled and put in refrigerator to harden
Cooked bacon
cheddar cheese.

Directions:

In a large pot Saute onion with the butter, add half & half, heavy cream and chicken stock/bouillon cubes (will need to add water if using them, but only half of what it calls for),some scallions, let it get to a slow boil, add mashed potato mix (both bags) and stir in well and turn down heat to just keep warm, add chopped potatoes and let mixture get hot. Pour into bowl and add cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon & scallions for garnish. Very simple recipe. Enjoy!!!
