    To save time, I cooked the celery and onion with the chopped up bacon in my soup pot. We don't like canned potatoes so I boiled some cubed potatoes. I did not add the salt in the recipe and used 25% salt reduced bacon and the results are delicious! (and even healthier!)
    Thanks for a great stand by fall soup!
