This sounded so good on this "brrrr" of a day I had to try it -- however, mindful of dr's comments about cholesterol levels, had to make changes (sorry, Nick!) Instead of heavy cream & water, I used 2% milk and a can of low sodium chicken broth, turkey bacon instead of real bacon -- a reluctant trade -- and only half the amount of cheese. And I added a cup of spinach b/c that was a leftover I needed to use up! I topped it with a few homemade garlic bread croutons. Therefore, my soup was quite a bit different from the recipe, but DELICIOUS none the less! So thanks for the recipe -- even tho I didn't follow it exactly!
