This was the 1st time I ever made this soup from scratch! It was very good! had great flavor. I made it exactly how the recipe stated, the next time I make this which will be soon. I will add a little more chicken broth to make it be a little more soupy and not so thick. I found that this soup was very thick. I was thinking that maybe adding either a little bit of finely shredded chicken or finely chopped ham would make this soup very great! All in all this is a must try if you are wanting a wisconsin cheese soup.

This was absolutely delicious and easy to make, however, I'm wondering if the 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes is a misprint. Don't get me wrong, I love spicy stuff, but I added only 3/4 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes and it was perfect. I can't even imagine having two full teaspoons of it in there. Nonetheless, I'm sure I'll make it again, but have made a note to use a lot less red pepper flakes. I also had to increase the butter to get the roux to be creamy.

Made it almost the same.... I grated the carrots, onions & celery, and used a couple of shakes of Texas Pete, instead of the pepper flakes. Oh, I also added some garlic powder and finely diced city ham.. We enjoyed it very much. Will make again, but will try ham broth as someone else suggested.

My first attempt was a hit! Did tweak it, because hubby is a ham fan. Made a lovely ham broth from Easter ham bones and used 3 cups of it instead of chicken broth and chopped up a 1/4 cup of the ham and added it in. Cut back on pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon, and used a bit of pepper cheese along with 3-year aged cheddar from Scray's Cheese in DePere, Wisconsin. He wasn't pleased with the spicy taste at first, but I asked him to give it a chance... by the end of the bowl he wanted seconds!

This was very delicious! I tried not to change anything, but of course I had to throw my own little flavor in. First I added a couple of cloves of garlic- minced. I also added 1 more TBS of butter. Kept the flour and baking powder the same but added 1 more cup of milk and another can of chicken broth. When I was making this it didnt look like it was going to feed my entire family. I also used a bag of sharp cheddar and about 1/2 a bag of jack and colby cheese. I also added smoked sausage to it. Very good thanks for the recipe! I will definately be making this again. It was the best cheese soup I have ever tasted!

Ham broth for chicken broth, less pepper flakes

The two of us ate the entire pot of soup tonight - mmmmm. I changed the recipe a little. I sauteed the onion and carrots, then added the flour, cooked it and then added the broth. I then pureed it with the stick blender, because I decided that we probably would not like the chunks of carrot. I used celery flakes instead of celery. It was not totally smooth, but the smaller pieces of carrot and onion were more appealing to me. Then I added the milk, simmered, and finally added the cheese and maybe half the pepper flakes - did not really measure. I had found a "super sharp" Cheddar cheese at the grocery and it worked really well in this soup.
