It was pretty good!It was runny as some stated. I added a little flour and some garlic salt, along with some of the bacon drippings as well and it was great. I wish I could get it to be a little thicker though.

This was AMAZING!!! I pretty much doubled everything except the milk and broth, as was suggested in previous reviews, and I added a little of the bacon grease for flavor. DEFINITELY will make again!!! =)

I made this soup for a work pot luck on St.Pattys day and it was a huge hit. I added a bit extra on cheese and bacon I also added two extra potatoes chopped really fine to help thicken the broth. My family loved it and my co-workers went crazy had to give them the recipe.

This is my families favorite soup recipe. We add a little bit more of everything, except the milk, and chicken broth. We also add a little bit of bacon grease to give it a more bacon flavor. We make this on a monthly basis even during the summer. Love this recipe.

I had to make some changes since I didn't have celery or sour cream but it still turned out. I used Velveeta cheese and greek yogurt and it is really good. My husband is the one I am worried about but I believe that he will like it. I served whole wheat honey buscuits with it.
