Helpful Tips
To make this soup more versatile, you can substitute the heavy cream with light cream or a dairy-free alternative like coconut milk. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water. For beginners, feel free to use pre-cooked turkey bacon to save time.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
