This soup was great! I omitted the salt and cooked the vegetables in seasoned chicken broth. I also increased the amount of broth by maybe 1/2 cup and increased the vegetables because I like my soups chock full of goodies. I also used sharp cheddar for the cheese, and was pleased to find that the soup had a smooth texture, not a grainy one.

Great fall recipe. Definately a keeper. The only thing I changed was using Velveeta.

I also enjoyed this recipe. I made in a crock pot, and used an immersion blender to disguise the veggies for my veggie haters. They LOVED it!

Instead of celery, I used red and green pepper.

Very thick and filling. Easy and fast to make. I used 1% milk and reduced fat cheddar. Great on a cold winter night!

This is one of the thickest soups I've ever made. It was a perfect comfort food and very filling. If you have more than a few people to feed you may want to double this recipe.

Agreed. This is absolutely great. My 7-year-old says this is his favorite.

Great recipe and so easy to make if you use a food processor. I used low sodium chicken broth for the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, reduced fat cheddar, and a little more celery and carrots than called for.
