For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese sauce and chicken. Garnish with extra shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or corn, to the soup. If you don't have bacon grease, you can use olive oil or butter instead. Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
