It's Cold, Soup Anyone?

It's dang cold out. Anyone have a hearty wintertime go-to soup? Recipe? I have a good potato soup and several good chili recipes but looking for something different. Thanks

Baked Potato Soup

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
• 2/3 cup butter
• 2/3 cup flour
• 7 cups milk
• 4 large baking potatoes, baked, cooled, peeled and cubed, about 4 cups
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 10 to 12 strips bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
• 1 1/4 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot over low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour; stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Add potatoes and onions. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until soup begins to bubble. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; stir until cheese is melted. Serve baked potato soup immediately.

This baked potato soup recipe serves 6 to 8.

I also added a little of the bacon drippings to the butter and flour mixture for extra flavor. I saved a little of the crumbled bacon and grated cheese to top the soup in the bowl.
