INGREDIENTS
1kg potatoes, cleaned and poked
2 cups (1.2L) chicken broth
salt and pepper
grated cheese
sliced green onions
crispy bacon bits
sour cream

METHOD
1. Heat oven to 175 degree C. Bake the potatoes in the oven for about 60 to 90 minutes. Place a baking sheet under the rack to catch any drippings.Let the potatoes cool and scoop out the flesh.
2. Add the potato to a pot and add some chicken stock, puree it with an immersion blender. Add enough chicken stock to get the consistency of a thick soup (or just a consistency you like).
3. Season with salt and pepper. Heat over low to medium heat until hot and serve. Top the soup with the cheese, green onions, bacon, and sour cream.
