Super tasty! I used turkey bacon and regular onions as substitutes and added a little salt and pepper at the very end. And thanks to the previous reviews I used Gold Medal Wondra instant flour and it came out perfect! So easy and delicious!

very good and easy to make will probably add a little salt next time. I was wondering about the topping (mayo and sour cream I didnt use it at all but was wondering if I missed something by not. Was thinking of just mixing the topping in with the soup and not use as a topping. Just wondering if anyone did this? Thanks
