  1. I had to tweak the recipe a bit for our tastes, but once I did that, this soup was a hit! The recipe, as prepared, is quite bland. Being in the south, we're used to a lot of flavor -- I had to add a lot more seasoning - salt, garlic powder, a teaspoon of chicken bouillon granules - to suit our tastes. Additionally, I used a bit more Velveeta than called for and threw in a handful of grated cheese blend. Once it was complete, it earned a hefty five stars. I'm always sorry to see folks post that a recipe had no flavor, or lacked a particular spice. That's what we do as cooks - we improvise until it suits our tastes!
     
  2. I was disappointed with this soup. I followed the ingredients and instructions exact.<br/>Soup was bland. I will say there is room for improvement. This did not taste like a cheeseburger at all. It wasn't bad but lacking taste. As the recipe is the soup broth is thick which is good because we like thick soups. I'm sorry.
     
  3. Awesome! I'll be making this again!
     
  4. This is a wonderful, creamy, rich, thick soup. It really hit the spot tonight. Since there's only the 2 of us and it makes so much, I'm going to freeze a couple of small containers for my 87 year old aunt and the remaining for us to have on another cold night. My package of hash browns was 30 oz. so I added more chicken broth. I did add garlic and smoked paprika to the ground beef to give it a little more flavor. The next time I make this soup, I think I will not add the flour/butter mixture. It really doesn't need any more thickening in my opinion. I also think you could add some broccoli to pump up the veggie count.
     
  5. My husband loves this soup. He's a vegetarian so I substituted ground soy for hamburger. I also used real cheddar cheese as opposed to the velveeta. Only a sprinkle of basil. Nice hearty soup with rich flavour.

  1. This was a great comfort-food soup for a cold night! I made it tonight for dinner and it 's going to become one of our regular meals. Here are my adjustments. I used celery instead of carrots and a cup of sour cream instead of 1/4 cup. Also, I only had one 2 cup can of chicken broth and diluted it with water to make the 3 cups. Instead of hash browns I used frozen Potatoes O'brien W/Onions & Peppers because I didn't have hash browns. It was grrrreat!
