Monterey Jack Cheese Soup image

Meet the Cook: Main-meal soups are something I'm always on the lookout for. Since I love cheese and our kids like anything with Mexican flavor, I knew this one would be popular at our house. I've served it with tacos, nachos or a loaf of bread. Our three children are grown, and we've just become proud grandparents. -Susan Salenski, Copemish, Michigan

This soup was a disappointment. It was watery and bland. I followed the recipe exactly but it just didn't turn out right.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. I thought it was a little bland and needed more seasoning.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a crowd pleaser. It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I love that I can use different types of cheese to create different variations of the soup.
