Super Soup
I love it! I used a lot more cooked and crumbled bacon mixed into the soup before serving. This is one recipe I'll use again and again.

Yummy
I made this for Easter dinner and it was enjoyed my my whole family. It was quite easy too, and heated up leftovers are jsut as great, I recommend trying to make it first, before serving it at dinner, because it can be diffucult to juggle all of the directions.
