My husband and I really like this soup. I always stir in 1 oz of 2% shredded cheddar cheese per serving after ladeling into the bowls. - 2/6/12

Very tasty! The only thing I would change, because I don't eat much salt, I found it too salty for my liking, but I will definitely make again with less/no salt. Thanks! - 1/28/11
