this soup is soooo yummy. I followed the directions to a tee but I blended the soup to a smooth consistency and topped it with the remaining bacon and I made homemade croutons from big chunks of sourdough topped them with parm cheese and broiled them in the oven. This is super easy to make and tastes sooo good
