“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 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!!!

Thank you Slosh29! No one is going to find everyone of the thousands of recipes on TOH to their personal liking. Please just move on to something you like without serving up negativity to the rest of us.

This soup is wonderful. I also made it substituting chicken for the ham with equally good results.

Very yummy!! I would blend the veggies or cut them up much smaller next time for kids.
