For an even richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Reserve a bit of the cooked bacon to garnish the finished soup.

    I substituted half-and-half for the whole milk to cut down on the richness, and it was still delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!

  • Leda Boehm

    This soup is amazing! The recipe was so easy to follow, and my family loved it. I added a little cheddar cheese on top for extra flavor.

  • Tatyana Blick

    I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. The trick of warming the milk beforehand really does prevent scorching!
