For a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the spice level. Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smoother texture. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. If the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
