This recipe resembles the recipe that my husband grew up with, so I had to give it a try. My personal preference would be to add the bacon towards the end of the cooking process to decrease the smokey flavor of the soup, and cook the onions and garlic in butter instead. I understand that this is a personal preference. I made it without the dill weed since I didn't have any on hand. I used chicken broth made from bouillion cubes, I am thinking that this probably gave the soup more flavor then a canned chicken broth would, since some reviewers are saying it is bland. Mine was far from bland. To decrease preparation time, I cooked potatoes on top of stove and transferred to slow cooker to complete the cooking process. I would suggest turning the slow cooker up to high when adding the flour and milk mixture, vent cover of slow cooker to quicken thickening process, I increased the flour to 3/4 cup since I like a thicker consistency. It will thicken, just give it time. The result was perfect. Season soup to taste, I added garlic pepper to mine. Taste test and add your seasonings accordingly. Individual servings were topped with grated cheese and bacon pieces. I am happy to be adding this recipe to my collection. Thanks for sharing.
