Two words- VODKA AND ICE! Cut back a hair on the vinegar and water to accommodate for these two awesome ingredients. The ice ensures extra crispy pickles and the vodka, well, need I say more?

This soup is really good. I adjusted the recipe for a party of 20 and I still only needed a quarter cup of bacon fat to saute all of the onion, celery, and potatoes. If I ever make this for a smaller group, I will not use the amount of bacon fat that the recipe calls for.
