Notes

To make low-fat, use turkey sausage and coconut milk and omit olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and bacon.
The low-fat recipe reduces fat to approximately 11.6 grams per serving and calories to approximately 184 calories per serving. 
For dairy-free, use coconut milk in place of heavy cream.
To reheat, add soup to a pot over medium heat and heat through.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
