Very yummy! Cheesy and delicious. I used homemade chicken stock, which I highly recommend for any soup. Also lowfat cream cheese. Sharp cheddar is a must here. Blended the soup when done, but I think it would also be wonderful with pieces of carrot and green onion for color. Thanks, KC, for a great recipe!

Excellent! Switched from our traditional Christmas buffet onion soup to this creamy, tasty, hearty soup. Followed the recipe exactly except to add a dash or two of Tabasco (sort of standard thing to do where we live). It was a welcome warm-up during the first Christmas Day snow in New Orleans in 51 years!

Excellent soup KC! I made this for dinner tonight and I had DH licking the bowl LOL! I really did not change much just added some extra cheese. I really should have doubled the recipe, my DS came over and finished it off, it all went...not a drop left. I made this with low fat cream cheese and 1% milk, and homemade chicken stock that I keep frozen in the freezer it was so good, we enjoyed this very much! thank you for sharing a great recipe, this is a keeper!...Kitten:)
