How To Make baked potato soup

Step 1Skin your baked potatoes and chunk the insides; set aside.

Step 2In a large sauce pot, melt butter & saute your onions until translucent. Add your flour and stir to make a roux. Gradually add chicken stock, water and cornstarch.Stir add mashed potato flakes & spices. Bring everything to a boil and reduce heat; simmer 5 mins.
