1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of heavy cream
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Be careful as it will be hot.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the milk and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer the soup for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
