Method
Fry bacon in a Dutch oven until crisp. Spoon out grease. Add butter to pot and melt, stirring constantly. Add flour and whisk to form a roux. Slowly add chicken broth, whisking constantly, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, or until thickened. Add cream or milk and heat through. Slowly add cheese and cook over low heat until melted.
Notes: This hearty, cold day soup needs no seasoning. The smoky flavor of the bacon and the tang of blue cheese make for a full-flavored, rib-sticking meal!
