Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Wrap them individually in foil and bake until they are soft when squeezed, about 1 hour (see Cook's Note). Let the potatoes cool slightly.
- While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a small skillet, in a microwave or on an indoor grill until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into the thickened milk mixture. Add the Cheddar, salt, pepper, green onions and reserved bacon. Cook over low heat just until heated through, then stir in the sour cream. Garnish with shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions and serve with more sour cream on the side.

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 are starchy and have a fluffy texture. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they will result in a soup that is less creamy.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be baked until they are easily pierced with a fork. This will ensure that they are cooked through and will blend smoothly into the soup.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the soup is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include bacon, sour cream, chives, and green onions.
Conclusion:
Zippy baked potato soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and endless topping possibilities, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
