I'm not a fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful.

I didn't have any bacon on hand, so I used crumbled sausage instead. It was still delicious!

The soup was a little too rich for me. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too thick. I had to add some extra milk to thin it out.
