After reading so many reviews about it being a little bland I decided to add a can of mild Rotel which has lots of flavor but almost no heat. I also added some fresh zucchini and bite size chicken cubs. I boiled my own chicken and use the broth from that instead of the bouillion granules. Since I used a onion when cooking my chicken/broth I only used half a onion in the soup. I think the changes I made added a lot of flavor and I will be making this again. My husband and daughter are not soup eaters but my mom and I loved it.

Quick, easy, filling, loved by the whole family and inexpensive. Made it without ham and corn starch... Only because I didn't have any.

I used regular Velveeta instead of the reduced-fat version, and 6 small red potatoes. I also used regular bouillon - not sure where to find reduced sodium? The soup was okay, not bad but not exciting. Probably will not make this again.

I made this for sunday dinner with some biscuits. It was really easy, and everyone loved it. I used 5 potatoes, two 12 oz bags of vegetables and a can of lima beans. Tons of leftovers, even after four very hungry people had seconds. Next time I might just use shredded cheese instead of velveeta, though. Will make it again!

This soup was a great hit with my family. I made a couple tiny changes. I ended up buying the wrong potatoes, so I ended up with lots more potatoes, and instead of the chicken bouillon and water, I substituted for a can of chicken broth. I also used condensed cream of chicken and mushroom soup. Next time I make this, I think I'll add tiny cubes of chicken. I didn't use the ham when I made it, but while I was eating it all I could think of was chicken, lol. Great recipe, it's getting jotted down in the recipe book so that my family can eat it again and again.

This is the second I made this, and I find I liked it even more than I remembered. My sometimes-picky 8 year old just finished his 2nd bowl, so it gets high marks from me! I did not use the cream of chicken soup, I used 7 small red potatoes, and used 3 instead of 2 bullion cubes and half water, half chicken broth. It's fantastic, and it would be easy to prep everything the evening before, then just put it together when you're ready to cook. Yum!

I've tried at least 10 different soups from the Comfort Food Diet, and they were all really good. But this one is the best, by far! It was so cheesy and creamy and truly comforting in every sense of the word! My 12 year old son just gobbled it up. My husband took it for lunch and loved it, too. This is one I will be making again and again. For the veggie blend, I used the Broccoli Normandy blend from BJ's (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, yellow squash, and zucchini). I cut the pieces up so they'd be bite sized in the soup. I wish I could give this recipe more than 5 stars...it was THAT good! It's the kind of soup where you want to clean your bowl with a piece of buttered bread at the end!

Soup good but bland, I added a jar of medium hot salsa and it changed the flavor to great.

This is a good basic receipe. Would I modify it, of course. I believe that most receipes offer themselves to be altered by each persons tastes. If I try something and I REALLY love, I leave it alone and cook it as it is. Other times, I add my own special "likes"...In my humble opinion, that's what receipes are all about..SHARING

This recipe was really good. My family loved it except for the fact that it was a little on the bland side which was easily remedied with a little hot shot. I will be making this again very soon.

My family loved the soup. I did not have the reduced sodium ingredients that it called for, so I just made them with regular. We all enjoyed it and it was easy to make. They all said it was a keeper!

Excellent flavor! The first time I made this recipe I followed the instructions just as written and enjoyed it very much. I have made it several times since then using a variety of ingredients to help make it low carb. I think my favorite variation includes 2 split chicken breasts - bone-in, cream of celery soup (lower in carbs) and a 32 oz. container of low sodium chicken broth. For herbs and spices I seasoned with Mrs. Dash table blend and a couple of bay leaves. I cooked it in the pressure cooker and when it was done, carefully removed the chicken breasts and turned the cooker down to warm. While waiting for the chicken to cool so I could slice it off the bones, I used my immersion blender to smooth out the ingredients in the cooker. I then added a small bag of mixed veggies and the cheese - oh yes, and a splash of sherry. To finish I added the sliced chicken and let it sit until the mixed veggies were done. OMG!! Too good to be true and LOW CARB in case anyone is interested. Thanks Jean!!!

Very tasty. I used chicken stock instead of water and bouillon, and added all 32 ounces in the container. Also added more ham and potatoes, and we had lots of leftovers. I will think about using the immersion blender for some of the veggies next time, to thicken the soup and hide the celery and onion from my picky eater.

I too used a slow cooker, about 3 to 5 hours on high. I used canned low sodium ckn broth. Because of picky eaters, instead of thickening the soup I used an immersion blender before I added the Velvetta cheese. This was so thick and tasty, we will add this to our "keeper" file.

I am just curious about the last review..If they disagreed with almost every single ingredient why not just close the window and look elsewhere. Why would you review something you obviously objected to and likely did not make. When I read these I want to know how the recipe tasted. Not an opinion of ingredients, cooking methods or nutritional values.

Bouillion cubes have way to much salt, even reduced sodium, cream of chicken soup to salty, ham salty. Velveeta is very salty. Cut the bouillon cubes find an alternative, find no salt soup, the vegetables have salt, this is a good recipe and will taste better with changes. I made my version as I want to taste food not salt.

My husband loved it. I did it in a slow cooker. I found you should use less water if you do it that way. Also I used a large shallot instead of onion. The flavor was fantastic.
