This is a good soup. It wasn't my favorite, it seemed to be lacking something...it just tasted okay, not outstanding. (I want my food to be sensational, not just okay:)

This was delicious! I followed the recipe and left out celery. I also made these changes simply for convenience: I had a pound of ground beef browned already so I threw it in a crock pot with 2 tablespoons dried onion, the basil, parsley, and butter. On the stove I boiled the potatoes and carrots in the chicken broth for about ten minutes and then poured in crock pot. I cooked on high for about an hour and then poured the milk mixture (from the stove) in stirring with a wisk. I cooked another 30 minutes then added the cheese and sour cream at the same time. Stirred every 5-10 minutes for another half hour or so and then served. I was making homemade dinner rolls and this was much easier than having to watch several pots on the stove!

This recipe was a hit at our house. My husband and I ate the leftovers for lunch the next day and the kids got home from school and were mad at us because we didn't save them any. I doubled the hamburger, veggies,liquid and sour cream. I cubed the potatoes a little too big, so when they were tender I smashed them in the pan with the ladel. It also made the soup a little thicker. Served with cresent rolls. Yum! We have also used frozen cubed hashbrowns or red potatoes.It eliminates the peeling of the potatoes.

I thought this soup was pretty good, but it had a distinct taste that wasn't my favorite. I decided to add in a little bit of cream cheese at the end which helped a little. I probably won't make it again only because the flavor wasn't for me.

We really liked this soup, and made a double batch almost as it was written, except we used double the ground beef. We also added spices per our personal taste, including (per batch): 1/2 tsp of garlic salt, 1 tsp fresh ground pepper, and 1/2 tsp mixed steakhouse seasoning. I added the spices at the end, once I tasted the soup, but next time I'll saute a couple of garlic cloves with the meet, and add the seasonings. I definitely think this soup is best with fresh ingredients (red potatoes cubed with the skin on, and shredded sharp cheddar). Thanks!

Excellent recipe..a "keeper"! I used what I had on hand..margarine instead of butter. I used 2 cans of chicken broth ( closer to 4 cups). Substituted shredded fiesta/taco flavored cheddar cheese ( has a mixture of monterey jack with cheaddar and some seasonings). Also added some salt/course ground pepper/ and some white pepper to taste. Yum. It made 4 bowls. Was even better left over the next day!

My family loved this recipe! I served the soup in a bread bowl covered with cheese. I did add a little garlic salt but that was it.

Because I commute 1 hour each way to work, I simplify this recipe. I also use more ground beef, 1#, I buy the cubed hash browned potatoes in the freezer section, along with the frozen diced onions. I use whole milk, and make this recipe as stated. I shave lots of time from assemblage with the 'easy' ingredients. Very hearty, creamy, filling on a cold winter's night. My family loves this, we have been making it for about 5 years now, I was surprised to find it on this site. To thicken this use potato flakes, it works great!

Exceptionally yummy. I hate when people change the recipe and then rate it... I followed the recipe exactly, but I did add a can of diced green chiles. I will be making this over and over again for sure, thanks.

My family really enjoyed this soup. I did change the recipe slightly--I added 3/4 cup of chopped broccoli, and 1 tsp of garlic powder, and black pepper. It's even better the next day.

As written I thought this was bland. I added quite a bit of garlic (fresh & granulated) & pepper. I also thought frying the ground beef and veggies in butter was not neccessary since gb is so greasy so I left it out. Used a mix of shredded cheddar & a little bit of leftover Rotel dip from the Cowboy Game - Go Cowboys! Skipped the sour cream - trying to watch a few calories. I could also taste the flour so I might skip that step next time & see how it turns out. Hubby absolutely thought is was delish! He would have rated it a 5. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is delicious. I definitely recommend using SHARP cheddar cheese because it is easy for the chicken stock and potatoes to dominate the soup. I also added some Jalapenos for an added kick!!

I sliced the carrots instead of shredding them and added a minced jalapeƱo to jazz this up a little, and ended up with the perfect cold weather soup. Thanks!
