Is there a substitution for Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup?

Hi. I called Campbell's soup company and found that there is not one
store within 100 miles of me that stocks this. The service rep
refused to recommend any substitution. My grocery store is on strike
and there's no way I'm placing a special order at this time. How do I
doctor the Cheddar cheese soup to have approximately the same flavor?

I posted this last night on rec.food.recipes. It's been 10 hrs and I
have yet to see my own post, so I'm hoping for quicker timing over
here. :) Perhaps my question should have been posted here to begin
with. I was dealing with a recipe substitution, so I wasn't sure
where to post. :/

Thanks!
Debbie

For future reference, rec.food.recipes is not a place to expect a
quick response -- it's a moderated group, and recipe requests are
posted once a day. The Requests posts show up a day or two after
they're dated (at least that's the case with the two providers I use
for Usenet access); whether the lag is due to the group-specific
moderation practices or server lag or something else is anyone's
guess. After that, recipes are submitted, which again results a day
or two lag.

It can be frustrating.
