Cook bacon in a soup pot until crisp; transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain; set aside.
Remove bacon grease, reserving 3-4 T. in the soup pot. In the same pot, cook the onions and celery over medium-high heat until onions are translucent; add the garlic; cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the flour; gradually add the vegetable/chicken stock; continue to stir until fully incorporated. Add the potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; cook 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
Add whipping cream; heat through. Add half of the bacon and 2 c. cheese; stir until the cheese is completely melted.
Garnish with remaining bacon, cheese, sour cream and green onions.
