Recipe Tips
For a lighter soup, you can use low-fat milk instead of heavy cream. You can also use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth. You can also add a can of corn or a can of diced tomatoes to the soup. For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme or a bay leaf. You can also add a few tablespoons of white wine to the soup for extra flavor.
