For an even richer flavor, consider using a high-quality, thick-cut bacon. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup before adding the half-and-half and evaporated milk. Garnish with fresh chives, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits for a delightful finishing touch.
