Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"This Creamy Soup is absolutely perfect for any fall! It's creamy and cheesy. Since it's ready in less than 30 minutes, it's great for any weeknight meal or lunch.   Found at Hot Eats and Cool Reads Site. I used polish sausage and fried it before adding to soup, though the recipe doesn't state that"
