Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake for 45 minutes. When done, the tip of a paring knife should go through the potatoes easily.
- Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
- Add the flour to the drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook, without adding color, until the flour and fat has combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk while you whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
- Scoop out the potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon leaving it a little bit chunky.
- Add the cooked bacon (leaving a little out for garnishing the soup), 1 cup of the cheese, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sour cream (from a squeeze bottle), sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, grated cheese and chives.

Tips:
- Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked potato soup because they have a high starch content, which makes the soup thick and creamy.
- Bake the potatoes until they are very tender: The potatoes should be so tender that you can easily pierce them with a fork. This will ensure that the soup is smooth and lump-free.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
- Don't overcook the soup: Once the soup has come to a simmer, don't let it cook for too long. Overcooked soup will become thick and gluey.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Baked potato soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as bacon, cheese, sour cream, or chives.
Conclusion:
Baked potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. It is a hearty and filling soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its creamy texture and delicious flavor, baked potato soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
