Easy and Excellent! I used low fat crm of mushroom, skim milk, and turkey sausage to make this a low fat soup. So yummy without all the fat.

Have been looking for new ways to use smoked sausage - a great deal when it's on sale - and this recipe was a hit at our home! The only change we made was to use a mixture cheese (like a mexican or italian mix) instead of cheddar only - just because it's what we had available. Other than that, we stuck to the recipe and it turned out great! It's thick enough to not really need a bunch of soup "extras", such as crackers. It also was quite flavorful - I guess the flavor will change depending on what type of sausage you use. We just used plain ol' smoked sausage and it was tasty! The kids loved it too! We just told them it was potato soup w/ big ol' hot dog pieces in it - they ate it up!!

My family loves this soup. I use more cheese (two cups), and I just add some instant mashed potato flakes to thicken the soup instead of using cornstarch. So good!

We really enjoyed this. I followed the recipe for the most part. I used cream of celery soup instead of the mushroom, added a little salt and pepper, and used some chicken and spinach sausages. The consistency and flavor were great. Even my 2-year-old finished her bowl.

This turned out really good...I was worried that it might be bland because the recipe doesn't call for any spices, but I just added some salt and pepper and it was really tasty! Very quick, easy, and inexpensive recipe...will definitely make this again!
