Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chives, and sour cream (because who doesn’t love a little extra indulgence?)
With these humble ingredients, we embark on a journey of culinary delight. It’s time to roll up our sleeves, put on our aprons, and let the magic happen.
First and foremost, crisp up those bacon strips. Cook the bacon in a large pot around medium heat until brown and crispy. Remove the cooked bacon from the pot and set it aside (try not to eat it all before the soup is done!).
Now, in the same pot, let the aromatic dance begin. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and let them sauté until they become fragrant and golden. Ah, can you smell that? It’s the beginning of something extraordinary!
