This soup is delicious. I followed the recipe exactly except I pureed the carrots and onions in the blender with some of the broth mixture after they were cooked to make the soup perfectly smooth. The only thing I would change next time is to use sharp cheddar. - 20 Nov 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This soup is simple to make and kids love the simple taste of just good cheese. - 23 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Yummy, tasted just like the cheese soup that was served at a restaurant I worked at years ago. I used a more expensive yellow sharp cheddar. Thank you for this recipe! - 19 May 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
