Baked Potato Soup
Dice one large white onion
Melt 6 tablespoons butter in pot over medium heat.
Saute onions til soft and tender
Add two tablespoons flour and continue saute until it starts to brown
Add 4 cups chicken stock
Stir
Add 2 cups water
Wisk in 1/4 cup corn starch

(Use less for runnier soup)
Add around 1/2 a teaspoon of basil and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to boil and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Stirring frequently!
Dice up peeled baked potatoes and add them. I like to use 7-8 small potatoes or around 3-4 large potatoes.
Add one cup half and half
Simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. Then it's ready for toppings!
