The flavour of this soup is incredible!! I followed the recipe except for 2 minor changes - omitted onion, as a personal preference & doubled up on the peas (out of a can). It took forever to melt the cheese - probably 20 minutes - I tried to be patient & leave it on low heat but ended up turning it up to about medium near the end. I guess the cheese did eventually melt but it was clumpy & made the soup look somewhat curdled.

A quick and easy soup we enjoyed for dinner! I had all the ingredients on hand, some leftover chicken and voila, dinner was ready. I added a small crushed garlic clove and thickened the soup with a blending flour which worked perfectly. The Canadian cheddar I used added lots of flavour. To serve, I grated additional cheese and fresh black pepper on top.

What a wonderful soup! I made some for lunch and wanted to make something different. My love for cheese and the fact that I had some leftover chicken pulled me to this recipe that I had saved. I had some frozen peas and carrots so I used those and followed your steps other than that. The soup was really delicious and one I will definately be adding to my favorites to make again and again. We just loved it! Thank you for sharing with us Emily! Linda

A Keeper! Made as per directions except for thickening with a flour paste instead of cornstarch. (Saute veggies gently in 2 Tblsp butter, mix in 3 Tblsp flour, let cook, stirring, about 2 minutes and then gradually add in liquids, bringing to a simmer. It works better for me that way.) Add in remaining ingredients. I use Velveeta in soups like this because it melts so smoothly, eliminating the clump problem. Then you can melt in Cheddar if you wish, but it usually isn't necessary because Velveeta is very cheesy tasting. Probably no need for salt. Oh, and a splash of good white wine never hurts. It's a pretty quick soup. Thanks for posting.
