Warm, hearty, chunky—and it all comes together in one saucepan. Red potatoes make it hearty, hot pepper cheese adds the spice and bacon does what bacon does—makes it awesome.

I would make adjustments to it if I make this again.

This was my first attempt at making a soup and I wasn't sure it was going to be good or filling. Boy was I suprised!! Easy to make and SO SO SO Delicious. My husband and I both had a full bowl and it was filling enough that we didn't even get seconds - leftovers for the next day! I couldn't find the cheese cubes so I used pepperjack cheese (10oz block) and almond milk instead of regular milk. I am definitely making this again!!

My husband was afraid that this wouldn't fill him up but it was hearty and delicious!

Love this! I think it'd be just as good as is, but I did not fry bacon; I used the Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Pieces: EVOO to cover the bottom of my pot in replacement of the bacon grease. I also added about 1 cut of chicken broth throughout the cooking to thin a bit. Otherwise - DELISH!!!!!

I left out the onions and celery, and put green onions on top. Delicious!

This was yummy. It was a tad bit too spicy for me, but that is a personal preference. I will use a little less pepperjack next time. I could not find the processed food product in my grocery so I used just a block of pepperjack cheese that I shredded. Was delicious!
