great! seems easy. Can you make it without the bacon? I'm on a veggie/fruit diet. Would I simple not add the bacon or do I need to substitute it with something else to maintain the consistency?

[ChefTips]

@connorsmog Yes, just leave it out. In its place, you might want to add a little drop of Worcestershire or liquid smoke to give it more depth of flavor. But taste it first without to see how you like it. A little salt and white pepper may be all you need.

Nothing fake about it. This is one of my first videos and I was not that comfortable in front of the camera.

@validfor1hour It's tough being in front of the camera and smile naturally into that peice of machinery.  It's easy, however, to pick out internet trolls.

@Suarezl23

Yes you can. But I would not add too much more. You don't want it to over the power the flavor of the soup.

Cheers!
