I made several changes to the original soup recipe based on others' suggestions. I cubed the potatoes with skin still on and boiled them along with the onion, garlic, and basil in the chicken broth. I too used the sour cream (about 2/3-1c) instead of the half and half. I bought precooked bacon pieces (the kind on the salad dressing aisle) and mixed these in at the same time as the sour cream. Once the sour cream was mixed evenly, I added about 1-1 1/2 c of sharp cheddar cheese and simmered while stirring until cheese was melted. It is flavorful and hearty. The perfect soup for a cold, dreary day!
