Awesome soup I bowled potatos in chicken stock instead of water... used real cheddar cheese shredded about 2 cups and also 4 cups milk and 2 cups non fat cream with 3 tablespoons sour cream... thicker,richer! But still excellent base recipe - 14 Dec 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Everyone I have fed this soup to really love it and it really is easy to make. Kids seem to really love it. I make this at a middle school I work at and the kids really eat it up. - 20 Jan 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
