SO GOOD!! I felt like I didn't quite perfect it though, it was really rich and thick. When we reheated the leftovers (what little leftovers there were) we did so with a good amount of milk and it was so delicious.

It has little chunks (not full cubes) of velveeta floating in the soup. Did I do something wrong?

I used a can of cheese soup instead of the velveeta (since I had everything but), and it worked really well. Tasty tasty soup. My 16yo step-daughter said, "It would be really good if not for the spinach" which means I think she liked it, she just didn't want to admit it.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041196439147601850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-48589027697148143752010-10-18T15:03:33.344-07:002010-10-18T15:03:33.344-07:00So happy to find your blog!!

Might suggest ricotta as a cheese substitute with maybe some Parmesan or Cheddar or Fontina (as AmyJ said) or Gruyere to add a bit of that rich cheese flavor but not enough so it's oily as Stephanie said can happen.Penni Wisnerhttp://www.penniwisner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-89805081337629479542010-10-18T12:00:58.624-07:002010-10-18T12:00:58.624-07:00I just found your blog and I am so excited to try ...I just found your blog and I am so excited to try many of these recipes this winter.
