Place bacon pieces in a soup pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat until bacon is crispy.

Step 7

Add half and half and stir until well combined.

Step 8

Carefully place half of the soup in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth (Be careful not to overfill the blender. You may want to do this in batches.)

Add the blended mixture back to the soup pot and stir in shredded cheese and cooked bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Place in individual bowls and garnish with additional shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or chopped green onion.
