This sounds so good! We will try this next week!
Wow...that looks really good. I might have to try that.
I can hardly wait to try this soup! How much does it make? I need to bring a gallon of soup to a church function, and this would be perfect - it would be something different from the chicken noodle that I usually do! Thanks for posting it.

Ooh!! Thank you, Barb!! I left that part out, didn't I? The recipe makes 13 cups.
Also, the lady I got the recipe from made this for a crowd not too long ago. She made the recipe and then put it in her crockpot to keep it warm and just before everyone ate, she stirred in all the cheeses. YUM!!!!
