I made this soup once--more than a year ago. It was a huge hit with everyone. I'd very much like to convert it to a RIVAL crock pot recipe as I had a bit of a sticking problem after adding VELVEETA. I'd like to try it in the crock, bit I don't want to ruin it. Liked review replacing peppers with hot sauce since I don't like chopping the jalapenos, Any suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!!

This is absolutely a FAVORITE in my house. Something guest request... I don't do the mushrooms- cause of family preference- Trust me it's just the BEST.

I made this soup and my husband loved it. I gave my best friend a bowl to try and when her husband tasted it, he made her make a pot of it the next day. This is very yummy and very filling.

My whole family was very disappointed with this soup. We were expecting something amazing and it was just mediocre to us.

I made this soup today. I chaged it a bit. Had leftover porkroast and gravy,so used it instead of hamburger and boullion. Used hashbrown potatoes, put half in at beginning and saved rest t heat thru at end so they held their shape, the early ones helped thicken the soup, added some frozen corn and made it like chowder, which my hubby loves. Use 1% milk. 2% mex. blend cheese. required no flour. i used no velveeta. It's bad for u, did use a bit of Hormel real bacon bits on top. It s so good. Oh and I halfed the recipe, just two of us. still enuf for two meals.

This receipe is bullet proof because I really messed it up. I used ground turkey and chicken bullion but it wasn't that. here is what I did: browned the turkey and onions, threw in the potatoes and carrots with the water and buillion and simmer about 15 minutes. While that was nhappening I made a roux out of butter (I used 4 T instead of the 2) and flour, milk, melted in the cheese. By the time the vegs were soft the cheese mixture was ready and I just threw it in the pot. Soup done. Tasted great and no worry with lumps. Really good with ground turkey by the way.
