I cannot understand how this recipe received such rave reviews. I will admit I used pre-made meatballs to make this easier for me on a weeknight meal, however my daughter would not eat this, and I managed to finish off a small bowl of this. This ended up being more like a thick stew as opposed to a soup. That did not bother me in the least, I prefer a thicker chunky type soup/stew. This recipe SOUNDED good, I thought that perhaps the idea of a cheesy meatball soup WAS a good idea for dinner tonight, but I'm just as glad my friend opted out of joining us for dinner, I would have been embarrassed to serve this. The appearance was not good and the texture was weird and not at all pleasing on the palate. The Cheez Whiz may have been the fatal flaw in this recipe. I just don't know. The potatoes turned almost to mush before the carrots and celery were finished cooking. The caricature of this soup as a “cheeseburger” was totally inaccurate and did not at all resemble a cheeseburger, or taste anything like a cheeseburger. I thought the hot sauce was a bad addition to this recipe as well, as it gave the whole dish a tang that didn’t enhance the flavor at all and my daughter said she could “feel” on the back of her throat and she did not like that either.
