this was a surprisingly good soup. i had hoped that we'd experience the taste of jalapeno poppers which happen to be one of our favorite, if not most favorite appetizer. while the flavor wasn't exact it had enough of the jalapeno, bacon, and cream cheese to recognize the yumminess of poppers. i modified several recipes i found so much so that i feel this one is mine.
there was just a hint of spicyness to the soup from any seeds i might have left on the jalapenos but i could see it being too spicy of many are left on in the chopping process. the boys think this soup is a keeper and really i can see us throwing this together again. for a more hardier soup i could see adding a couple potatoes too and may in fact try that next time. but as is i served it with a good stand alone - bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches.
go ahead try it! and enjoy!
