How To Make creamy baked potato soup (made w/healthier choices)

1
Bake potatoes and allow to cool. Dice bacon, slice onions, mince garlic, and chop celery, simmer in soup pot in olive oil till tender. When veggies are tender and bacon is done, add diced potatoes.

2
Add cool chicken stock, milk, and sour cream. Cover and simmer for about 30 min. Add feta cheese. If soup needs thickening, mix 1/2c cold milk or water with 3-4 TBL of cornstarch. Add to soup and simmer till soup thickens.
3
Add shredded cheese,banana pepper rings, and bacon on top. NOTE: Allow soup to cool for a while, or even refrigerate overnight, the longer it sits, the more flavorful it gets!
