Helpful Tips
For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to blend the soup before adding the cheese and bacon. This soup can also be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat gently on the stove before serving. If you prefer a lighter version, swap the heavy cream for whole milk or half-and-half. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gouda or Swiss for a unique flavor twist.
