Analyzing cooking steps...
Using a low-sodium chicken stock is recommended so you can control the saltiness of the final soup, as the bacon and cheese also add salt.
Don't let the soup come to a rolling boil after adding the sour cream and cheese, as this can cause the dairy to curdle or separate.
Grating your own block of sharp cheddar cheese will result in a smoother, meltier texture than using pre-shredded cheese.
The soup will thicken as it cools. You can adjust the consistency with a little more milk or stock when reheating if needed.
