This soup is absolutely wonderful. Every time we ever went to Black Angus this was one of our favorites. I have improved on the recipe. If you really like the bacon flavor in the soup, after you cook the bacon save the fat. Substitute one third cup of bacon fat for one third cup of butter and use one third cup of butter to equal two thirds cup of fat. There is a wonderful recipe for the potato skins on this website also.

This is sooooo super yummy. Me and hubby fell in love with this soup at Black Angus, and this tastes exactly like it. I almost forgot to add the cheese and sour cream, and it tasted good even then. I will keep that in mind when I go back to dieting. I didn't really need more bacon on top, because there is so much in the soup already, didn't really need the extra cheese either, but I did top with plenty of green onions and it was super good. Thank goodness there are leftovers. I will have good lunch this week!
