Add cilantro (reserve 1/4 cup for garnish), jalapenos, and green onions (reserve 1/4 cup for garnish). Simmer for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Transfer to a food processor (or use an immersion blender) and process in batches until smooth. Reheat.
Garnish each serving with sour cream, cilantro, green onions, and reserved bacon
