Thats some good soup! I tossed in a couple chicken bullion cubes, and next time would use maybe half the bacon.

    I made this soup yesterday and all I can say is Y U M M Y!!! This soup will be my contribution tonight at a potluck and I am confident it will be a hit. There was one thing I changed in the recipe though because I did not have plain vinegar on hand. I used apple cider vinegar in its place and it gave the soup a nice touch of apple flavour.

    I made this with lean ham to lower the fat content a bit. DELICIOUS!
