I like the flavor of this for sure! Be sure to buy good Gouda and don't skimp. The cheap cheese doesn't melt properly. My husband loves it, too!

I was really disappointed in this soup. I did everything as directed. It was frothy and the texture was odd. I'm giving it three stars because my husband liked it.

This recipe sounded so different that I just had to try it, and I'm so glad I did. It was really good. I didn't have any gouda cheese on hand, so I just used some American, but next time I'm going to make it with the suggested cheese. And instead of using butter, I used some reserved pear juice I had leftover. Thank you for the recipe!

Wowee is this delicious! I'm having some right now and I can't imagine adding a single thing that would make it better, I have to eat a lot of pureed foods (after surgery), so no apple garnish for me, but DH loved it. This is a definite part of my rotation now.
