Alright, I took the advice of using half water half broth. I did not have slice cheese on hand, or enough cheese. I grated half a one pound block of cheese, and maybe 6-7 deli slices of swiss cheese. I must not have melted the cheese correctly, because it started to ball up. So, what I did do is I added a packet of "just add hot water!" potato flakes, cheese flavor. I also added chopped broccoli and a handful of baby carrots. As you can imagine, my soup is more like mashed potatoes, and it tastes great. I'm sure I can add water or more broth to make it more soup like. I definitely agree that this recipe has great potential. This was also my first time making soup!

Yummy! I took the advice of another user and used 2 c. chicken broth and 2c. water instead of 4c. of water. Also added frozen broccoli, garlic granules, and used Velveeta intead of American Cheese. Great on a chilly day!

Great for a cold summer night. I did add abit of onion salt or it might be a little bland.

I added garlic, chicken boullion and used velveeta cheese. It was scrumptious!! One mistake I made was that I didn't let the potatoes get soft enough before I added the cheese.

I was so disappointed when I sat down to enjoy this. It was so bland. I followed the recipe as is and wish I would have seen the other reviews BEFORE making this. It turned out too runny, and I had to mash up some of the potatoes to thicken it. I had to add lots of salt and pepper to make it enjoyable. And the american cheese didn't really do it for this recipe. Cheddar, or Velveeta, would suit it better I believe. Definitely listen to the other reviews that suggest adding the other things, like chicken broth, etc., to spicen it up. I will try this recipe again; however, I will make many adjustments. It has great potential.
