To really improve the health aspect of this decadent soup and to make it more veggie friendly made these changes: NO point in using chicken stock—adds fat and sodium; so used veggie stock (that way my vegetarian friends can eat!) omit bacon bits (too fatty) and instead add caramelized onions! Think about it—lovely smoky flavor with no added fat! The mixture of the caramelized onions on the sour cream, out of this world! <br /><br />Every bite so good; also to make it fancier added to the cheddar soup part real Shredded cheddar and Monterey jack—all in all still decadent but much better than original recipe!
