“My niece makes this in a slow cooker by putting in all the ingredients but the cheese. When the veggies are tender, she adds the cubed cheese and 5 minutes later, a nutritious meal is served.” Jean Hall - Rapid City, South Dakota

Tip

Nonstick Cheese Slicer

Sometimes my cheese slicer sticks when cutting through soft cheeses like Velveeta. To prevent this, I spritz the roller bar with a little bit of nonstick cooking spray. It works like a charm. —Heidi R., Tionesta, Pennsylvania

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

Okay but not enough flavor to be a keeper.
