This recipe was a gr8 base. I felt the recipe was bland however. Not only did I dlb it, and use all chicken broth, I added 1/2 cup butter, 1 and a 1/2cups cheddar/jack cheese, Tarragon, Grnd Cumin Seed & Celery Seed-1 to 1 and a 1/2 tsp ea, and a dash of Garlic Salt.

I love this soup! I've been making it for years and I almost always double the recipe. I also make mine with double the bacon (ummm...bacon) and use all chicken broth and no water. Delish!
