Thanks goes to Bridgette for sending me this recipe. Its not soup time but i LOVE soup!!
The simplest things in life are almost always the best. This the the idea behind this soup that is one of the simplest but tastiest soups. It is also very versatile as you can adjust the taste with the addition of ingredients like celery,leeks, rosemary, thyme. Different types of cheese will also vary the final result. This is not a fancy soup but rather a base which can be added to to get an individual result.
