directions
Microwave bacon according to package directions. In a medium Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high. Sprinkle flour over butter and cook until mixture is lightly golden, whisking constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Slowly whisk broth and milk into flour-butter mixture. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until soup thickens, whisking occasionally. Stir in mashed potatoes, whisking thoroughly to remove any lumps. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in onion powder and 1/2 cup cheese.
Meanwhile, crumble bacon into small pieces. Remove soup from heat. If soup is too thick, add 1/4 cup chicken broth or water to thin to desired consistency. Divide soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with bacon, remaining cheese, sour cream and green onions.
