Ingredients

3-4 medium baking potatoes skin on, well washed (2 pounds)
1 small shallot peeled and diced very finely
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cup vegetable stock
2 cup half-and-half
¾ cup 2% milk
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 ounce grated cheddar cheese
3 tablespoon light sour cream
3-4 large green onions thinly sliced (scallions)

Instructions

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in a 350°f oven. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Sauté the shallot, salt and pepper in olive oil for 5 to 8 minutes over medium heat. Add the stock, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, on medium-low for 10 minutes. Add the baked potatoes and simmer for another 10 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, milk and flour. Add this mixture to the soup, stirring as you pour it in. Bring soup back to a boil and allow to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
Garnish each bowl of soup with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and sliced green onion, or any other potato toppings that you enjoy.
