Expert Tips

Instead of using purchased bacon pieces, cook 2 strips of bacon until crisp, then drain and crumble.

Southern-style hash brown potatoes are diced instead of shredded. These work best in this recipe.

I made this today for lunch. My family loved it. I will definitly make this again. I didn't have any frozen or real onions so I just used onion powder. Also used some red pepper seasoning. It was great.

I have made this several times and we enjoy it. I do make a couple of changes that have worked well for us: I always use sharp cheddar for my cheese and add several dashes of hot sauce and a generous pinch of black pepper to add some heat and spice. Cayenne and paprika are nice in this as well. I also add a small bag (10oz) of frozen, chopped broccoli during the last hour of cooking to up the veggies and add some additional flavor. Overall, it's a nice basic recipe that can be changed to accommodate different tastes.

I've made this soup a few times now but I make double batches cause I feed my 4 grandchildren their mom, my hubby and myself. My grandson Mark likes this soup so much he just couldn't stop eating it! This is a great go to soup on any day! You really must try it! keep it at the top of your soup recipes. This soup is fast and easy. If you don't have a slow cooker than cook it on the stovetop! Great recipe!
