NO tomato products in this soup - surprised at how tasty this soup turned out to be! The only change I made - I melted cheddar cheese and added versus using cheese in a jar. Served this along with a fresh garden salad and toasted French bread. This was a faceless crockpot recipe which I chose to prepare for the Allstars - South Region. Thanks Alice for sharing your recipe with Allrecipes!

My guys liked this. I kept it as written except added a container of soft pretzel cheese dip instead of the whiz and it was great. Had a little kick. I did add 1/2 Cup of beer and another 1/2 cup water to the original posting of water-it looked like it needed more liquid.

This is okay...not outstanding, not terrible, just okay. I guess to me when you make a soup with Cheez Whiz you're gonna have a soup that ends up tasting like...Cheez Whiz. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. But I think I'd like to try a cheese soup that has a little more nuance/less of a chemically-processed cheese taste to it.

Everyone loved it. Hot sauce is key. Needed more spice.

I made this for company and they loved it so much they took home all the leftovers! My husband commented the next day that he was kind of bummed that we didn't keep any for ourselves! Very good!

I guess I'm in the minority (I'm also 9 months pregnant and admittedly have "food issues"!). I really didn't care for this recipe - the mixture of the flavors kind of made me sick. My husband, on the other hand, thought it was great. He crumbled saltines into it and happily ate it so it's probably just me & my hormones acting up again :o)

Without the celery and carrots, this was a very kid friendly recipe. I ended up needing 4 cups of liquid to start - maybe I put in too many potatoes. I put the jar of hot sauce on the table for people to add if they wanted more.

Very good. I made a few changes...omitted celery (don't like it), used a little less hot sauce since my toddler would be eating it. I think next time I will try it with Velveeta instead of the cheese whiz. I think Velveeta would taste a little better.

This is delicious. I substituted the ground beef with ground turkey. And i served it with pumpkin muffins. It was a huge hit at work on soup day. I did try it without the cheese before i added it and I like it much better with the cheese.
