Loved it! I doubled the corn starch (to 4 TBS) to help thicken. Additionally, and I may be wrong here, but the recipe doesn't specifically say to bring the mixture to boil. After adding the milk, I made sure to bring the whole thing to a boil, as for some reason I have it in my head that milk doesn't thicken much unless it hits a hard boil briefly. From there, it was great! -
This was great! I was short on time, so I used a couple of frozen broccoli cauliflower mixtures(bags) and added bacon bits,half & half.I didn't use cornstarch-as the half & half thickened it with a little "Wondra" flour.The three teenage boys and husband said,mmmm.took only about 45 minutes from start to finish.Thank-you!! -
one of my favorites and very easy to make, muy beuno! -
I just finished making this soup. It tastes wonderful, but I just could not get it to thicken. I added the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and saw that I was having a problem so I added another 1 and 1/2 tablespoons. Still did not really do the trick...it's still quite watery. Will try again...hopefully next time I will get the great taste with the right consistency. Thanks for sharing! -
Love this soup! I used evaporated milk and cream of chicken soup. I also included the shredded carrot. I love how quickly this comes together. It's tasty and satisfying!

Yummy!!!! Best I've ever had!!! I've made this several times now and can't stop licking the spoon after stirring, it's so good! I add dill weed to it and I think the carrots are a must (it gives it a little sweetness). As part of my low-carb lifestyle, I use heavy cream in place of the milk which eliminates the need for the cornstarch to thicken and makes it even creamier. I can even eat it without the cheese at all, it's that good!! Thank you so much for posting this delish soup!!!
