  1. This is delicious! I love the cheesiness. The whole family likes it!
     
  2. I was disappointed in this recipe after the rave reviews talking about it being the best. There's way too much cheese, which gave it a gritty texture. I had to add more milk just to make it more like a soup and less like a dip. I added more seasoning because of this, but it was still a little bland and had to add salt. It's not a bad recipe overall, but it needs work. I left out the celery and corn and replaced them with roasted red peppers. I might use a fourth of the cheese next time, and only a white cheese like pepperjack.
     
  3. This is one of the best soups I make. I add a green pepper diced to it at the same time I'm sauteing the celery and onion. I also use the fake crabmeat which is much cheaper and it tastes fine.
     
  4. I had some problems getting the cheese to melt properly so my soup probably was not quite as thick as it should have been. The seasoning was quite subtle and I ended up adding quite a bit of salt.
     
  5. This is a good recipe to get started. It was too bland for my taste. Just add some seasoning and it turns out fine
