This soup hits the spot on a cold day! Easy to make. The only thing I do differently is add more bacon!

This hit the spot on a cold rainy night! I made a few changes to this recipe because of time and what I had on hand. I used a couple tablespoons of butter instead of bacon (mine was already cooked) to saute the onion and garlic. And, to save on time, I boiled the potatoes in the broth. To make it gluten-free I mixed some cornstarch in a bit of water and added that to the broth after the potatoes were done. Will make again for sure. I did not use the basil or hot sauce, but did add a stalk of celery with the onion.

This was ok. If I make again, I would use a little less flour and maybe use a little less broth and a little more milk/cream to make it creamier.

I tried thyme instead of basil after reading the reveiw before, and it went well. I would make it again.

This was excellent. Next time I might add a little more bacon and leave out the basil. But this was excellent and easy!
