Here is my 5th place winner in the Poultry competition. The picture is not very good as it was taken out at the fair after I was awarded my ribbon.
This soup was really good and it will be a recipe I will make again. I loved that it had cream cheese, jalapeno peppers and bacon... are the best parts of a jalapeno popper!!!
