  1. Hubby really enjoyed this. I used about 2 cups of potatoes (1 large potato), 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp bouillon powder (trying to lower sodium content) & left out the celery. It only took 10 min of simmering time to get the taters tender. When I added the cornstarch mix (used fat free half & half), the soup thickened up QUICK! So I added the rest of the liquid. I used about 1/4 cup less half & half than called for by accident, but it worked fine! We actually didn't stir in the cheese; offered it as an optional topping--but hubby used some croutons instead. Thanks so much for sharing--it was rich, creamy & a great recipe.
     
  2. Unlike you to forget a step. I can't figure out when to add the chicken broth/stock. Figuring it is at the beginning with the veggies. Hoping that is right because I have invited my brother over for diner. Wish me luck!
     
  3. Knowing my kids would enjoy this soup, I went ahead and doubled the recipe. I am glad I did because they loved it. I only had one can of evaporated milk, so I used skim milk for the rest. I also added a little extra cheese. I decided to puree the soup so skipped the thickening step. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  4. This was very good. I liked how it was so thick and creamy... and being low-fat was a major plus with me. My hubby said the cheese completed it.
     
  5. This is VERY thick and creamy! I used the 3 potatoes and also used fat free half & half. I probably added a little extra cheese as well. We really enjoyed this soup. We're going to have the left-over soup for lunch today -- I'm sure it will be ever bit as good warmed over as it was last night. It was so thick that I may have to add a bit of half & half to it today! I made this for Kitten's Cookathon in memory of her husband, John.
