Tips

  • Thicken the soup with potatoes instead of flour for a really filling consistency.
  • Bacon is optional; the soup can be made vegetarian by omitting it.
  • Frying the bacon first ensures it's crispy and allows for removal of excess fat.
  • Making homemade croutons enhances the soup experience.
  • Add cheese and cream at the end, then blend until smooth.
