This was very good. I left the chicken out, used velvetta cheese & left over mashed potatoes.

This was a marvelous, quick, and easy soup recipe, due to the use of instant mashed potatoes. I did make some minor changes though. I left out the chicken and salt, and I changed the cheese to mild cheddar. I also used skim milk and low salt broth; but the soup was still creamy and delicious. My daughter and husband raved about it too!

This is an awesome soup. I never would have thought to use swiss, but I don't see why not! It is wonderful! I have since branched out with it to add several types of cheese per batch, my favorite combo being swiss, extra sharp white cheddar, and havarti. Sometimes I use neufchatel cheese in place of a little of the milk. I don't always put in the chicken, since I have a bit extra cheese in it this way, but it is so filling with Irish Soda Bread!
