I used half the block of velveeta as required by the recipe and it was too cheesy. It's like your just eating melted cheese. It was really gross. I suppose adding more milk would help watering it down. But I would just not bother with this recipe again.

Suprised by how good this recipe came out. I also cooked the shrimp with some butter and garlic beforehand and used a 16 oz bag rather then a 6. I used 2 and a half cups of milk and added garlic with the celery. My husband loved it, I will make this again!

this was very good and I'm guessing people who said it was too thick or too cheesey, used too much velveeta. make sure you only use 8oz which is NOT an entire block of velveeta, it is only half. I did not use celery and I used full size raw shrimp. I cooked them with butter and old bay seasoning before cutting them small and adding them to the soup. I hope this is helpful, enjoy!

My daughter and I made this tonight.I added onions and some garlic with the celery. I also added 3 cups of milk instead of the just one. I had no leftovers and the family gave it a thumbs up!

I replaced the dill weed with Cayenne Pepper to give it a kick. It was really good, and heated up in the microwave really well the next day.
