Savory and delicious Soup. I used Mexicorn instead of regular corn. I also added an extra can of diced tomatoes with green chile since I'd used 3 yellow squashes. It is a keeper.

Perfect soup for all my garden veggies! I used fresh tomatoes, 2 jalapenos, and the Mexican Velveeta cheese.

This was sooo delicious. And I don't like soup or vegetables! I chopped up the squash and zucchini pretty small. I used a can of rotel and left out the small can of chilis. I added cumin with the corn because most Mexican dishes have that cumin flavor. I have made this soup several times and I finally figured out how to make it nice and thick like a cheese soup should be. I let the vegetables simmer in broth more like 25 minutes, not 10. Then I put 2 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch in a small cup of water until disolved. Add that to the pot and cook another couple of minutes until it gets thick. Then add the velveeta according to the recipe. I've made this soup with yellow squash and butternut squash, both turned out great. I top this soup with sourcream and crushed tortilla chips.

Fabulous! A new favorite that I will rely on every summer when our garden is over flowing with zucchini. Hubby likes things really spicy so I used spicy rotel and added some minced jalapeno.

Great stuff... I used 1 can of Rotel instead of green chilies. Sour cream added to each individual bowl along with tortilla chips were also a great addition.

I thought this soup was pretty good but my husband told me not to make it again. It was way too spicy for my kids. I really did enjoy it though, since i like all thinks super hot i used rotel tomatoes with chili pepers it was the hottest one. i than added some jalapeno peppers. I served in bowls with shredded cheese and a dolop of sour cream. great

I've made this many times and think it's fabulous! I do use the Mexican Velveeta every time and have substituted canned diced jalepenos for the chiles when I'm in the mood for a soup that is "muy picante!". Thanks for this awesome soup!

I tried this recipe with a couple substitutions and the flavor was QUITE good. I used Ro*Tel tomatoes & green chilis instead of the mexican style tomatoes and can of green chilis with excellent results. I did have some problems with my cheese substitution. I used 3 types of cheese to make up the total amount - processed cheese, grated sharp 2% cheddar, and crumbled sharp white cheddar. Although other reviewers who substituted regular cheese reported no issues, MY regular cheese formed unappetizing rubbery strands throughout the soup. Next time I make this, I will stick to processed cheese. My only other comment would be that I think Id like a thicker soup. Im eager to try it again with the type of cheese called for in the original recipe and see how it is. I had no complaints whatsoever about the flavor of this quick soup. Tasty!

So good! Better than I thought it would be, and a huge hit with the kids and hubby. I added a dash of chili powder, and it gave it a tortilla soup flavor. I also served it over crushed tortilla chips. Awesome recipie, and fairly healthy. Oh yeah, I made it in a crockpot, and it came out just wonderful.

I added a pound of ground beef at the beginning. And I used 3 roasted green chiles from my freezer. This was really good. My 2 yo loved it, but the other kids weren't as sure. They don't like any cheese soups, though.

Great soup! The only change we made was to leave the cilantro out and add crushed tortilla chips at the table. It was also on the stove for a bit longer (hour) because my hubby was late for dinner but it was still delicious!

My family loved this recipe served with tortilla chips. I was disappointed to discover how high the sodium content is for this recipe. I will serve this again if I can figure out substitutions to bring the sodium down.
