HEARTY CHEESE AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Hearty Cheese and Vegetable Soup image

Thick and creamy, this soup is chock-full of rich, cheese flavor. I came home with this recipe after an exchange at my church several years ago and I have shared it with many. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. -Suzanna Snader, Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania
