As potatoes cool, prepare soup by melting butter in a large saucepan, and saute' onion until light brown. Add flour to the onions and stir to make a roux.
Add stock, water, cornstarch, mashed potatoes, and spices to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out contents with a large spoon. Discard skin. Chop baked potato with large knife to make chunks that are about 1/2 inch size. If using frozen hash browns this step is eliminated.
Add chopped baked potato and half & half to the saucepan, bring soup back to a boil, then reduce heat, add the 2 cups of extra sharp cheddar cheese and simmer the soup for another 15 minutes or until it is thick.
Stir often to avoid sticking.
Spoon about 1 1/2 cups of soup into a bowl and top with about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 tablespoon of crumbled bacon and 1 teaspoon of chopped green onion.
Repeat for remaining servings.
Serve with salad, rolls, crackers or just by itself.
