Recipe notes

I tell you to use frozen bacon for several reasons. The main reason being that frozen bacon is easier to cut up. 

You can use turkey Bacon in place of Pork Bacon

NOTE: The soup can become very thick. You can add more water to thin out as needed. 

 

If you choose to cook in a slow cooker, put everything in except for the pasta. Add, pasta in approximately 15-30 minutes before serving.
