I followed the recipe exact, only cutting the recipe in half though I did not cut the bacon in half, I kept that the same. For us, the chicken bouillion made this way too salty. We really could not eat past a couple bites. I'd make this again but omit it all together--I think it would be much better.

My 12-year-old daughter and I made this together. We really liked it, though we did make some changes. We didn't have jar cheese sauce so we made "Glen's Cheese Sauce." I think I would always use that as the cheese base instead of something processed. We decided to leave out the bouillon and just added more chicken broth at the end to thin the consistency out a little. We were confused by what "ground red chili pepper" is exactly. We replaced with cayenne pepper. Wow! That was spicy, which we both like. But I can't serve it to my son, so I think we would reduce that by half or use paprika instead.

I was so excited to try this! I found it to be way too salty. The chicken bouillon I believe put it over the top. I will try this again but lessen the amount of bouillon if not omit it all together. Also may try a low sodium broth. It was very easy to put together and would have tasted great otherwise! Thank you for the recipe.

I was a little skeptical when I first saw this recipe, and when I went grocery shopping bought a few things to add to the recipe if I didn't like it. However, once I finished the directions, I tasted it and fell in love!! I made too much macaroni, so it turned out more like actual mac n cheese (and after it set overnight, it really WAS) but I adored it. I will definitely be making this again!

I have to admit, I was surprised at how well this turned out. I had never heard of mac and cheese soup and mostly tried the recipe out of curiosity, but it tasted really great! I'm pretty sure my husband would have eaten the whole pot on his own. I did add a can of tomatoes with green chilies, just because it seemed like it needed a little more color. Super easy and pretty tasty!
