This is comfort food to the max. Thick, rich and creamy. Instead of adding croutons I opted to throw in a little ground sausage as DS think's he needs meat in every meal. :-) Fantastic!!! Made for ZaarStars.

Very good. Perfect for Fall/Winter. I did add a little salt and some more cheese, but very good as is. Will definately make again. Thank you.

This soup is delicious and satisfying -- warms you from the inside out. The only change I made was adding salt - otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. I loved this and will definitely make it again!

This was very good, and had great flavor. My family and I enjoyed it very much. I did add a little more potatoes, milk and broth to make a little more than what the recipe stated but it turned out fine. I did add a little grated cheese as a garnish instead of the crutons, and enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks!

Great-tasting and satisfying soup. The pureed potatoes and the melted cheese give the soup a smooth, velvet-like texture. I used sharp cheddar cheese. I think some sweet carrots would be great in this soup, too! I will try that sometime. Thanx for a great soup!
