This soup is so good. I use 1 cup of Velveeta and 1 cup of shredded cheese in this soup, and it still comes out great! -
In New Mexico, we add green chile to everything. It was really good in this recipe. Very good soup. -
What a delicious soup. I made this for supper tonight. It warmed our tummies. I followed the recipe exactly and it isperfection! My DH loved it (he loves all of NurseDi's recipes.though). I'm taking the rest for our lunch tomorrow. -
Yowzer. This soup is awesome. Very rich and we love Velveeta cheese. The sour cream also adds to the richness. A great soup to warm you up of a nasty, cold day. Very easy to make too. I served with some warm French bread and salad. Thanks Nurse Di. -

Yummy! My whole family loved this soup. It would be great also to use wild rice instead of potatoes next time. -
WOW! I think this stuff is awesome and very easy to make even with its 40 minute prep time, but worth it. I used 4 cooked ground beef patties left over from my daughters party. I used 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup chicken broth instead of 3 chicken. And I also used 1 cup Velveeta and 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Otherwise, I followed recipe to the 'T' and will definitely make again! -
This was easy to fix and I had ALMOST everything on hand. I ran out of velveeta so I subbed (mostly) sharp cheddar, this worked out nicely. I also had no celery in sight, but am sure that the addition of the celery would only make it better. I am not a fan of potatoes in soups, but went with it thinking okay cheeseburger and fries thinging. It worked out very well! I will fix this again adding garlic and possibly switch out the basil for thyme or cooked chicken for the ground beef. This soup reheats very well in the microwave. I will be fixing this again! Thank you for posting ratherbeswimmin.
