For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese and bacon. If you don't have Yukon Gold potatoes, Russet potatoes can be substituted. Adjust cooking time as needed. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as corn or peas, to the soup for added nutrition and flavor. For a smoky flavor, use smoked bacon or add a dash of liquid smoke to the soup.
