Love this recipe. Did make a few changes. Added more Frank's hot sauce. (This is optional depending on how hot you like it.) Used half Monterey Jack and half Cheddar cheese. Garnished with cheddar cheese and scallions.

We loved this soup. The flavor combination was right on for us. I almost left out the blue cheese because I just couldn't imagine what that would add, but added it and it absolutely made the soup. Next time I'll double it because I did share with DH but I could have eaten the whole serving myself. Yummy :) Made for Photo Swap Thanks flower7 :)

This is officially one of my favorite soups. I might have gone heavy on the hot sauce and the cheese, but it was all very delicious and worth it. We will add this to our monthly menu.
