What I like about cooking the most is you get to control everything about it. You can add more of this and less of that depending on your taste.
Like more heat? Add more spice
Do you really like cheese? Add more cheese.
Don’t like butter? Ah, Don’t add butter!
I developed this recipe because I’m not a big fan of “cream of anything” soup. It has too much sodium!

Can I do this in a slow cooker?
Yes
Made this for a church potluck.
So easy and so good!
Can you add diced cooked bacon to the recipe and how much should you add?
You can add any amount you want depending on how bacon-y you want it. I would probably add 1 cup.
Can this be made the day before and if so do I cook it and reheat or just cook it in the morning?
YOu can do either. I’d probably assemble the night before and cook in the morning. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the cooking time to account for it being cold.
Could you use 2% milk? It’s what’s in the fridge! 🙂
Yes, you can.
I have made this recipe so many times I can’t even count. I have made for large crowds, for my family on weekends, and on holidays. It NEVER dissapoints. We love it. I’ll be making it again this week.
Awwwww, Thank you so much for your kind words!!! 💝
Delicious!
Has anyone tried doubling the recipe? Would I double the cream or would that get too soupy?
I have quadrupled this recipe many times and it always comes out great. Just watch your timing as it usually needs to cook a little longer.
