I LOVE THIS RECIPE! A friend of mine use to make it when we worked together. Its been about 4 years and I finally found the recipe. The only change I made was I added steamed broccoli to it at the end. It adds the perfect missing ingredient! I didn't mash up the potatoes too much I love chunky soup. I bought fresh french bread for dipping in the soup. It was amazing! I even made it for my baby shower and put it in a crockpot so people can serve themselves and about 4 people asked me for the recipe. :-)

This soup is so good! My family loved it. I increased the quantity of processed cheese by a 1/2 lb and only used one can of evaporated milk cause I ran out of room in my pot. No cornstarch necessary. I garnished the bowls with a hand full of grated cheddar cheese and chives. Loved It!!

Added garlic. Tasty, but not terribly special. Needed something more...not sure what. Will make again and experiment a bit.

I just received 7 thumbs up for this recipe from my children(3 thumbs from the 4 year old!). So, I would have to say this was a raving success at my house. I will be putting this in my recipe box and using it often! I also followed some of the changes with 1 can milk, plus I used regular shredded cheddar cheese, and a little garlic. Otherwise it was straight from the recipe.

I'm going to rename this "Naughty Potato Soup" because it is SO not for the health conscious but so addictively yummy! I tweaked the original recipe a bit to fit what I had on hand by substituting ham for the smoked sausage, red potatoes, and half and half for the evaporated milk. I also didn't realize I had bought 2% Velveeta so that may have changed the consistency and flavor a bit. I still thought it was pretty tasty and served it with steamed broccoli to ease my conscience about the gobs of fat in the soup. If my family approves (they haven't tried it yet!) this will definitely make the list for easy weeknight recipes. NOTE: Be very careful after the cheese and milk is added. It will scorch to the bottom of the pot if the heat is too high.

This was really good; my husband & two children liked it a lot. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it didn't have enough of a "smoked" flavor, when made as directed. I ended up adding some liquid smoke & next time will use smoked cheddar cheese in addition to the Velveeta.

I loved this recipe!!! Even my husband loved it and he doesn't like soup OR sausage!!! I did make some slight modifications-thanks to the reviews already posted :) I only used one can of evaporated milk. I also sauteed the sausage with the onions and added about a 1/2 T of minced garlic with the onion. Instead of cooking it all on the stove I moved it to the crock pot when it was time to add the cheese. I also added 1/2 bag of shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar to it. It cooked on high in the crock pot for about an hour...until all the cheese was melted. This was definitely easy to make and tasted wonderful!!!!! Everyone LOVED it!!
