    Absolutely delicious! Even my picky eater asked for seconds! I used smoked gouda and smoked cheddar along with smoked paprika, cumin and corriander! - 10/8/09

    My boyfriend even liked this! I used creole seasoning, cheddar and gouda, and because I didn't have cream of anything soup, I added 1/2 cup vegetable stock, a splash of half and half, some sour cream, and a stalk of celery. Thanks. - 10/6/09
