Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake potatoes for 1 hour or until tender.

When potatoes have cooked, remove from oven and cool. While potatoes cool, prepare soup by melting butter in a large saucepan and saute onion until light brown. Add the flour to the onions and butter and cook for a few minutes. Add stock while whisking to prevent lumps. Add water, cornstarch, mashed potatoes and spices to the pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out contents with a large spoon. Discard skins. Chop baked potatoes with large knife to make chunks that are about ½ inch in size. Add chopped baked potato and half and half to the saucepan. Bring soup back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer the soup for another 15 minutes or until it is thick. Spoon about 1 of shredded cheese, a half teaspoon of bacon and a teaspoon or so of green onion as garnish.
