I made this recipe, using some of the suggestions from other reviewers and LOVED it. I used half the liquids, and substituted chicken broth for half of the water. I also added some carrots. I had no fresh onion, so had to substitute dry onion flakes. Would have preferred the fresh, but it worked out fine. Added shredded chedder to the top. Hubby liked it, and I took some to my mom and she liked it too.

Loved it. I used just enough chicken broth to cover the veggies. Removed some of the soft veggies from the pot and then blended. I also added a few pieces of velveeta queso cheese slices. I used 2% milk.

This was a great base recipe to use what you have on hand. I cut the water in half like the other reviews mentioned. I only had one can of cheddar soup, so used one of Cream of Celery. I added a little shredded cheddar and used potato flakes to thicken it up. It works great. Tasted wonderful and both kids loved it!

Great, basic, easy to make with whatever you have on hand! We used cream of mushroom soup b/c it was available & just added various shredded cheeses. For extra seasoning we used half a powder packet of Lipton's Onion & Mushroom soup. So good & will make again.

Very good soup, but fairly thin if made the way it is written. I would half the cooking liquid next time, for a thicker soup. Otherwise very good. Takes alot of salt to season. Cannot really taste the cheddar soup, but it thickens it.

Based on the original recipe, I have to give one star. A potato cheese soup, in my mind should A) be thick like mashed potatos, and B) have a cheesy flavor. This had neither. I took the advice of other reviewers and halved the liquid, but I still had to add some cornstarch to thicken it something more resembling something you eat, not drink. I also had to add a lot of seasoning to make this flavorful, and add shredded cheese to the final product. This was really disappointing.

This is the best and easiest base recipe for the soup I wanted. I substituted a few cups of chicken broth for part of the water, and I diced the potatoes instead of slicing and mashing. I also added carrots, garlic to taste, and shredded cheddar. I also chopped up a package of pre-cooked bacon and added it. It was a hit. Everyone had 2 to 3 bowls of it!!
