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.
SCRUMPTIOUS BAKED POTATO SOUP
This recipe came from my mother's collection. It's such wonderful comfort food! *Note* Never boil a cream based soup. Heat it just to the boiling point, then remove from heat. Boiling it will cause your soup to curdle.

ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Remove bacon from pan, and set aside. Drain off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon grease.
- Cook celery and onion in reserved bacon drippings until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cubed potatoes, and toss to coat. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Return bacon to the pan, and add enough chicken stock to just cover the potatoes. Cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
- In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon, and cilantro. Bring the cream mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture. Puree about 1/2 the soup, and return to the pan. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Tips:
- For a creamy and flavorful soup, use high-quality potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice because they are starchy and hold their shape well.
- To save time, you can use pre-shredded cheese. However, freshly shredded cheese will melt more smoothly and evenly.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will be thinner and less creamy.
- To make the soup vegetarian, omit the bacon. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped bacon, or green onions.
Conclusion:
Baked potato soup is a comforting and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it creamy or chunky, with or without bacon, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a warm and satisfying meal, give this baked potato soup a try.
