Baked Potato Soup

This is a fabulous recipe thought I'd pass it on.

Yields 8(1 cup) servings or 4 main dish servings.

3 lbs. potatoes, scrubbed and pierced in several places
2T. butter or marg.
1 1/2 c. finely chopped onions
2T minced garlic
1 (14 1/2 oz) can chicken broth
3c. milk
1t. salt
1/4t. pepper

Preheat oven at 400. Bake potatoes until tender, about an hour.
peel when cool enough to handle.
Melt butter over med heat, add onions and garlic; cover and cook10 mins until soft but not brown. Add 2/3 of potatoes to pot and mash. Add broth, milk, salt and pepper. Bring to simmer and stir often. I scooped out about 2 cups and blended it to make it a little smoother and add about 1cup of sour cream just before serving. Cut remaining potatoes in small cubes.

Our weather is turning crisp and clear, (although pretty hot today). Your soup will hit the spot this fall. Yummy.
Love, Irene
