I made this soup for lunch today and I think it's great! Easy to make too! I did change 2 things: I used 1/2 C heavy cream in place of the milk and I used shredded cheddar cheese. I topped each bowl with extra cheese, crumbled bacon and green onions. It's a cold and rainy day today and this soup hit the spot! Great recipe!

<p>I've been cooking since I was a child and by the time I was 16 was shopping/planning and cooking for my family. I don't always get to cook each night and have many different palates to please but I try to cook something new each week.</p>
<p>I have an extremely committed vegetarian son so it's been fun lately to try to cook something new and healthy with him each week.</p>
<p>I would rather plan a dinner party than go out on the town!</p>
<p>I deal with difficult people all day long for work so I try to be as positive and upbeat as possible. :) :)</p>
