Absolutely delicious!!! I added carrots and used valsamic vinegar instead of sherry. My husband, who does not normally like soup, had three bowls of it! It was a total win!

Delicious soup! I had to blend my broccoli as stems were a bit tough... no fault of the recipe... Going to freeze some and use over baked potatoes or pasta. Thanks!

I made this soup today. It is creamy and smooth but lacks flavor. The part about chopping bacon and cooking it with chopped medium onion then adding the flour doesn't produce a usable a very good end result. I buy and use lean side bacon therefor not enough fat rendered to mix in the flour called for. Have never used Ranch dressing or sour cream in a soup before but it was good. Due to a heart condition I use 1% milk so it made the soup nice and creamy. All in all a pretty good recipe and being a seasoned cook of 85 years of age I was able to make it all work with a few tweaks. More flavor is also needed.
