Once again, the Smiths were wowed!

Here are some alternatives:

Milk can be used instead of cream (cream is better though)

I usually use fresh potatoes and frozen veggies instead of the canned versions.

You can add the chopped bacon to the top of each individual bowl instead of adding it to the entire pot.

Try  different veggies – maybe add a little spinach

Try different meats – shrimp, clams...hmmm…get creative

Try different seasonings – thyme, cilantro
