    I made this last year and everyone loved it. I made it this year and it seemed too rich for everyone. I am trying to figure out what I did differently this year. It was either the brand of cheese or the quantity. When you measure your cheese, do you use 8 oz = 1 cup so you put in 32 oz of cheese or do you actually measure 4 cups of shredded cheese? I really want to make this again.

    1. I actually measured out 4 cups Cheryl. I hope that helps.

  2. I’ve been making this soup every year since a college friend of mine brought it in for a friendsgiving potlock. It must be 6 or 7 years now!

    My family won’t let me NOT make it for Thanksgiving.

    Thank you for this recipe!

    Hi! I first tasted this soup at a friendsgiving potlock back in college in 2014. I asked to girl who made it for the recipe and have been making it for my family and friends every thanksgiving since. I’m basically never allowed to NOT make it because everyone loves it so much and it has become a staple at our Thankgiving table. Thank you so much for the recipe!
