Bursting with fresh bacon and cheese flavors, it's super easy to make in less than 30 minutes.
No matter who I've made this for it's always a hit and one of the most asked-for meals.
Of course, everything is better with bacon, and will please all those picky eaters out there when dinner is served with fun and these fantastic flavors.
You can even set up a serving bar with all our suggestive toppings below and let them build their own soup bowl just like they would a burger.
The soup is creamy with lots of cheese and bacon in it and I happen to love it with diced fresh tomato in it but those are optional.
Serve this up with some buttery garlic bread and you have the perfect meal for a chilly evening that is rib-sticking good!
We even have a page set aside on our blog for Our Best Soup Recipes you may like to try.
The kids love this soup and ask for more I just love how simple it is to make.
It can also be made in a slow cooker.
