For an even richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Reserve a bit of the cooked bacon to garnish the finished soup. A touch of freshly grated nutmeg added during the last 15 minutes of simmering enhances the warmth of the soup. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup before adding the milk.
