I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still really good.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add a little bit of chopped bacon to it for extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of Velveeta, but this soup was still really good. The potatoes and cheese were cooked perfectly, and the soup was very creamy.
