Very tasty and very easy. I followed the directions except for cutting it in half and DH and I really enjoyed this for lunch. I served it wil a mixed green salad with Recipe#356874#356874 and the dressing. Thank you! Made for Spring PAC.

I loved the flavor and texture of the soup, and REALLY loved that I didn't need to peel potatoes! I cut some fat by using 2 tbsp of butter and fat free half and half. I melted the cheese right into the soup (I used maybe 1 - 1 1/2 cups). Nice and filling. Thanx for sharing!
