Excellent soup!I used frozen broccoli,frozen bag of veggies 2 potatoes cubed, onion and a little minced garlic.Also I used canned chicken broth,fat free cream of chicken soup and low fat Velveeta to make it a little healthier. I think next time I will add some rotisserie chicken for something a little different but was great as is.

Wow! I made this soup for myself because my husband and kids do not typically like soup, and they ended up eating more than me. This is the best soup I have ever made. I cut the amount of water by 1/2 a cup, but kept everything else the same. We are particular about veggies, so i used 3 c cubed potatoes, 1/2 onion (maybe more) and 10oz brocolli. After adding the cheese, I added 1 1/2 lbs cooked shredded chicken. Served up in bread bowls, this is sooooo good.

Kinda on the salty side (next time I will use less bullion) but fabulous anyway! Great for fall/winter evenings and easy to put together! Thanks!

Very, very good soup! Great for winter. Have made this soup several times according to recipe and turns out great each time. Although, I would advise against trying this in a crock pot. I tried that for a pot luck today at work and just dumped all of the ingredients into the crock pot and cooked on high for 4 hours. It was really runny and the veggies didn't cook through. It was really disappointing so I will go back to making it on the stove as the recipe suggests.

This was very good - great flavor and loved adding all of the vegetables. It wasn't as thick as I hoped/expected, but the flavor was fantastic. May play with proportions next time for a thicker consistency.

My family loved this soup! I used frozen spinach and corn, along with canned carrots and green beans, and fresh cut potatoes, celery, and garlic. I also added sliced avacado when I served it. I was delicious! My four kids gobbled it up, even the one who "hates cheese". This recipe is a keeper!

I could have sworn that I had 2 cans of cream of chicken soup in the cupboard, but one of them turned out to be cream of onion. I used it anyway and it didn't seem to hurt. I didn't like the idea of throwing the raw vegetables in the broth, so I sweated the onions and celery with some garlic and chopped carrot for 15 minutes before adding the broth. I only had a 16oz package of broccoli cuts, so I used that and did not add frozen mixed vegetables. I also threw in a bay leaf and some chopped ham. This soup came out very good and we all enjoyed it. Thanks!

I made this soup last night...my family LOVED it! Our picky sons had 2 bowls each!! I will make this again for sure!! I made a few changes though, I didn't have any broccli or mixed vegetables so, I used about a cup of the fallowing; frozen peas, frozen corn, a can of green beans, a fresh sliced carrots. I also took others advice and added garlic and left out the bouillion. I also only used 3/4 of the cheese and added smoked sausage. This soup was so awesome!! Thanks so much!

Loved it! I left out the onion, but did everything else according to the directions, and it turned out wonderfully. I'll definitely make this again! My husband doesn't like Velveta, but loved this soup anyway. Also, several reviewers thought this was too salty, but I thought it was fine. I may have used 'reduced sodium' cream of chicken soup, so maybe that helped.

We really enjoyed this soup. I agree it needed meat. I did the smoked sausage per other reviewers. I also sauteed the onions in a bit of butter, then added garlic before the rest of the ingredients. Yummy and comforting.

What a wonderful, delicious and easy to make soup. I just threw in what vegetable I had (even the already seasoned ones in the freezer). It was even better the second day. This is one I'll make again and again.

I make a soup that tastes very similar to this but my dh always complains it's too thin--he likes a very thick soup. This was Perfect. Both of us liked it so much better than the recipe I have. It's thick, creamy, chunky.....YUM. I didn't have any mixed veggies so I just added whatever leftovers I had in the fridge (some corn and carrots) along with the broccoli. I can't express how yummy this was. My two little ones loved it. My youngest kept stealing spoonsful while the cheese was still melting. Great Recipe.
