Baked Potato Soup

By Cathy Lea

This is a simple soup that tastes very rich. You can add any kind of garnish you like.

Ingredients

 2 large russet potatoes
 1 1/2 cups milk
 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
 2 teaspoons steak seasoning
 1 teaspoon dried or 2 teaspoons fresh chives
 Sour Cream, Cheese, Bacon, etc. to garnish

Directions

Bake potatoes in the microwave. Meanwhile, add the onion flakes and steak seasoning to the milk and simmer to rehydrate the onions. Chop the potatoes into bite size pieces. Add to the milk mixture and simmer on very low heat until the starches in the potatoes thicken the soup. Add the dried or fresh chopped chives. Add whatever garnish you like. I like bacon, sour cream and cheddar cheese.
