I used to make a home version that I worked out for myself. of course, I didn't use a bread bowl, I find those to be wasteful.





1 medium sized potato, baked or cooked in the microwave

1 can low salt chicken broth



Chop the baked potato into chunks, leave the skin on if desired.

Simmer the potato chunks in the chicken broth on low heat.



In a separate pan



2 tbsp butter

1/2 cup flour

1 cup nonfat milk



Melt the butter, stir in the flour and stir until it is bubbly and smooth. Add the milk in small batches and stir until you have a thick gravy-like mix. After the potatoes have simmered for a bit, add the butter/flour/milk mix and stir. It should thicken up , but you might need to let it simmer on low heat for a while to reduce and thicken up.



Serve by dropping shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, chopped cooked bacon, and a dollop of sour cream on top.



It's been a while since I made this, so you may have to play with the proportions
