I had this exact soup in a local Restaurant and when they closed I looked for years for a similar recipe. I didn't find a *similar* recipe, I found THE recipe. Awesome! Buy the best French bread you can find. Truly heavenly. Only bad thing is it is very ADDICTIVE LOL

I am sorry, though this does sound good no self-respecting Wisconsin native makes a soup with Velveeta and calls it "cheese" soup. If you make a cheese soup and are from Wisconsin you make it from cheese not a processed food substance.

Thank you Tracy. I had to chuckle. I was thinking the exact same thing. I thought it sounded good until I read Velveeta. You do not use processed cheese in the Dairy State. Thanks Again.

I'm from NW Wisconsin and had to laugh when I seen Velveeta. I'm trying to find a good old fashioned cheese soup recipe myself.

This soup is the BEST. The only change I made is that I use 1/3 cup each of carrots, onions, celery instead of all onion. I like the Velveeta as it is so creamy when it melts. I have noticed that many recipes call for a cheddar cheese. American Cheese would probably be good, too. I guess as an Iowan, I grew up on Velveeta. 😊️ Had grilled cheese sandwiches every Sunday night with tomato soup as a kid. Maybe I'll try that sometime.
