Recipe Reviews
It's not as flavorful as the beatroot soup but I'd say its tasty in its own way.
Happy stomach happy life! I had a party in my mouth after a sip of this soup.
Loved this cheesy dish to much, easily one of my favorite soups out there!
Kinda plain but I liked it more than the corn soup.
The potatos were so cheesy and gripped onto the seasoning perfectly.
I actually chopped up some chicken breast and tossed it in to cook with the soup, it was freaking delicious.
Had it cold for lunch on my work day and it was even more tasty, I love me some cold cheese.
My kids favorite soup in the world, thanks so much for sharing it.
Delicious and simple to make, I even made 2nds because there was just not enough!!
Had mine with some cheesy garlic bread and they both went so well , one of my favorite dinners.
Not sure what to say about this soup other than it's very flavorful but had to give it 5 stars no matter what.
Me and my husband really liked this cheddar jack soup, it was good.
Wasn't a fan of leek so I didn't add any but the soup itself was perfect.
HEAVENLY! This is so tasty when warm and very filling i'd totally recommend it for anyone second guessing.
I used himalan salt instead of kosher, wayyy better.
Wasn't sure how I'd feel about cheesy soup since I like mine with a lot of meat but this was good.
I'm normally not a huge fan of cheese or soup but the two together is BOMB!
Can't get enough of this soup it was honestly so flavorful and delish.
The cheese tasted kinda burnt so i ended up remaking mine and it was okay after, just a difficult recipe to perfect :(
I'd recommend adding a bit more salt than just a pinch or two since the cheese really doesn't take to grabbing it.
I love it! Yummy-yummy!
