Preparation
Pierce potatoes with a fork; microwave on high for 5 minutes turn over and microwave another 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Or if you prefer to use your oven, bake at 400°F for 1 hour or until tender. Cool. Peel potatoes.
Meanwhile, steam cauliflower with water in a large covered pot until tender. Drain and return to pot.
On medium heat, add chicken broth, milk, potatoes and bring to a boil. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Add sour cream, half the chives, salt and pepper and cook on low another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring sometimes.
Remove from heat. Ladle 1 cup soup into each bowl. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons cheese, remaining chives, and bacon.
