Gazebo Cheese Soup image

A simple and elegant cheese soup. This year I served it with my Easter ham. I got this fabulous recipe from my mother-in-law who served it for Christmas Eve dinner. It is a lovely company soup-- rich and creamy with a nice apricot color, which looks great with the dark portobellos scattered on top. Definitely a "lick the bowl" type of soup (if no-one's looking, of course!). Great as leftovers, but not so good to freeze b/c of the cream.
