  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add crispy bacon and dried thyme, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine all ingredients well, adjusting consistency with more broth if needed. Let simmer on low heat for a few more minutes.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
