100% would make again

"I like this soup so much, but imagine the calorie count is shocking, " writes Judith Webb from Blue Springs, Missouri. "Any ideas for lightening it up?" Our Test Kitchen showed her how to alter her recipe for a rich and creamy soup with all the bacony goodness of the original...but only a third of the calories and less than one-fourth the saturated fat!

I've used this recipe many times and love it more each time. It's a favorite at our house. I've even halved it in a 2qt slow cooker for an elderly neighbor. Thanks, Mary J.

I love the soups that use the condensed soup. As a busy grandmother, who works full time and tries to cook great meals for 6 I praise them. When I retire (God willing) maybe I'll have time to make my soup from scratch but until then I adore these recipes.

I love your website. You have so many appealing recipes, but when I see condensed soup (additives!) as an ingredient, it is an immediate turn-off. Why bother with the slowcooker here - simply heat up a couple cans of soup, some frozen hash browns, and throw some packaged bacon bits on top.
