What can be more satisfying on a cold winter day than a comforting, creamy bowl of soup? This soup is very delicious and calorific at the same time. It’s one of my family’s favorite soups. I like to add kale to this soup for a little something nutritious, but it’s totally optional. For vegetarians, you can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and omit the bacon.
