I made this recipe, and we really loved it. I added some hot sauce to spice it up a bit and it needed some salt and pepper for seasonings.

I think this is really good and if you like thick soups you can leave out the milk. It was very good, can't wait to have it again.

Made it without the rice, and used about 1 1/2 cups of Tex Mix Cheese. Also add garlic salt, thyme, basil and fresh ground pepper. I only pureed 3/4 of the soup because we like whole veg.in our soup. My husband said it was Supper Yummy Delicious!! Will certainly make it again.

Made this for the first time yesterday. I added some sea salt, and fresh ground black pepper as I used my own homemade soup broth. I used instant brown rice instead of the white, and it was still wonderful. I also used my new immersion blender, and it turned so smooth and delicious.

I added 1 tsp. of basil, 4 oz. of velveeta cheese and 1/2 tub of Philadelphia low fat herb & garlic cream cheese. Will definitely make this again.

Very simple to make. Not sure what the previous people were talking about when stating having to chew - I used my Braun hand blender and it came out fine. I used regular chicken broth instead of the sodium reduced and added pepper. I also made it in the morning and let it sit until dinner so the flavours had time to sit and come together. Husband loved it!

i've made this recipe numerous times and our family loves it. I can actually get my kids who hate veggies to eat it. Sometimes I substitute some of the broccoli for cauliflower
