  1. I made this tonight as is with the exception of adding another clove of garlic, but after tasting it thought it was a bit bland for our tastes. After adding about a teaspon of dill and a few hearty sprinkles of season salt though it was out of this world!! Thank you for posting!
     
  2. Awesome! I used a few more slices of bacon & used meat from a roasted chicken (pre-cooked) so added it in with the potatoes and broth step. Lots of flavor, nice colors. Make sure to add some chopped green onion, too. Also used only 4 cups (1 carton) of broth. It was fine.
     
  3. I've been making this recipe for years, and I love it. I use a little more garlic and a couple of extra slices of bacon. Also, it freezes really well.
