This soup was very average and nothing special unfortunately. After I read the reviews, I see that most of the higher scores changed the recipe by doing many things different or adding things. My husband made this recipe and he followed it to a T and it was average, but nothing special or tasty. I know it's nice to add your own touches to each recipe but following the recipe didn't do it for me this time. We did use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

Sorry but I wasn't very impressed with this soup. It has some good basic ideas but the flavor was not good. I would suggest NOT using the creamed corn. It gave a weird sweet taste and combined with the salty cheese flavor it was nasty.

Hubby liked this one more than I did, but I will probably make it again because I love using my crock pot! I doubled the carrots & potatoes, threw in a whole onion, celery, and one can of chicken broth. Next time I will try the processed cheese, I didn't have anything time and just used cubed cheddar & swiss.

Yumm! Husband had three servings of this great soup. Used only half of the vegetable broth, added broccoli, and used the salsa con queso. Really, really good!

The celery seed made it a little bitter so next time I'll just use chopped sauted celery. Good basic recipe though. Will definitely make it again with various veggie additions.

Great recipe! I made this last night and everyone liked it. I did however double the amount of potatoes and carrots. I will definately make this again, I might add in some celery or another vegetable in addition, next time. Great for chilly fall days.

This is a very good base recipe. I took the advice of other viewers and doubled the amount of potatoes and also added additional vegetables (celery and broccoli). I omitted the corn as I don't care for it much and added some chicken. I used sauteed leeks rather than onion and added a bit of garlic. I probably tripled the amount of pepper as we love it. Both husband and son thought the broth could have been thicker but I don't like an overly-thick soup and thought it was the ideal consistensy. All in all, a lovely soup. Thank you Corwynn!

AWESOME!!! My picky-eater husband even liked it. I added 3 cloved of fresh, minced garlic, just one can of chicken broth, and some frozen broccoli. It tasted like restaurant soup!

Took me only 15 min prep time even with the extras I added ( shreadded carrots instead of chopped, broccoli florets, half a handful of green onion, pinch of chili powder, and minced fresh garlic). The flavors blended so well together and made the whole house smell so good during the cold winter. Served it with french bread for dipping and sprinkled shreadded cheddar cheese and parsley on top for garnish with a small side salad. Best of all, the WHOLE family loved it.

Yum Yum! I just used 1 can of veggie broth as others suggested and that worked great. I used 2 potatoes and 2 carrots. I also used the Kroger cheese queso and that added a nice spiciness to the soup. What I really liked about this was that it didn't make so many servings. So there weren't a ton of leftovers to eat. Sometimes that's OK!

This was fabulous! I really wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. I have had cheese soups in restaurants, and have always wanted to find that great recipe to make at home, but am always disappointed. I would say this is it! Here are the slight changes I made: 1 can of vegetable broth, double the potatoes, used the Kroger brand jar of processed cheese, added 1 clove minced garlic and I made it on the stovetop. (Since I made it on the stovetop, I sauteed the veggies in a little butter before adding the broth)Oh, I like others, added the creamed corn when I added the cheese. Excellent, thank you!

I really loved this soup after I added a few things. I had some left over meatloaf that I added, and I added a can of kidney beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and some frozen green beans. Very good.

Very good. I used mexican mild spicy cheese. I added the cream corn last. I also used chicken broth and added some additional vegtables. It was thinner then I expected, next time I will add more cheese.

This was so good and satisfying after a long day at work. My husband even raved about it. (A devout carnivore) Thank you, Corwynn! However, I did find the soup to have too much liquid in it. I know it's "soup", but I like it a little thicker. (I used 1 can of broth so I will scale that down next time I make this.) And of course I vote for more potatoes! MMM!

This soup was wonderful!!! I didn't have the processed cheese so I just used cubed sharp cheddar and colby jack. Did add a little more potatoes and some broccolli. Didn't have vegie broth so I used four chicken boullion cubes with package directions for broth. Had on hi for four hours bacause I started kind late. People who don't like soup liked this! Goes perfect with the "Italian Soup Bowls" also on this site. Enjoy!
