    I wasn't a huge fan of this but the rest of my family loved it. Although it had a lot of flavor i felt it was missing something. I think if i would have added some more veggies or some chicken i would have liked it better.

    I loved this soup, and so did the rest of my family! It was so easy and made for some (even better leftovers the next day! We ate on this soup for about 3 days and it makes ALOT. It's not too cheesy and has a wonderful texture. I added two rotisserie chickens to make this more of a meal and it was lovely.

    Can not believe how good this recipe is. I have been searching for a good soup forever! Absolutely fantastic! I can't get enough! I have made several variations depending on the occasion, add chicken, shrimp, use green onion for a garnish, there are so many possibilities! I've even reduced the recipe down to one serving because I eat it for lunch at LEAST twice a week. Thank you SO much for this recipe!
