This is such a yummy creamy soup, which freezes well too. If you don’t have fresh thyme you can substitute with dried. I really love the crispy bacon on top of this soup – the bacon can be either fried in a frypan, or cooked in the oven or wrapped in a paper towel in microwave on high for 3 minutes.
