"This is one of my favorite winter time soups! Really comforting on a cold day! Very easy to make and everyone I know seems to love it. This re-heats well but it never lasts longer than a day at my house!"

Wonderful! Talk about comfort food, this is it! Perfect for a cold winter day. I made this exactly as stated, it is so easy to make and so flavorful. Loved the combination of cheese and vegtables. Thank you for a great recipe, Theresa!!

This soup was wonderful! Family enjoyed it, and I've been eating up all the leftovers! Now I have the know how, to make any kind of creamy soup I want! Thanks!

I made this as a way to use up a bunch of vegetables that I got in my organic produce delivery. I used 3 cups of vegetable broth (instead of the bouillon and water) and it came out a little thick for our liking, even for a chowder. I added some broth to thin in out a bit and it was much better. Very good flavor and easy to make. Thanks for posting!

Perfect winter soup! I added cauliflower because I had some left from a veggie plate, plus added some corn. This will go in to the soup-rotation at our house!!!
