There is soup and then there is SOUP! And this deserves capital letters! This is one of our TOP FAVORITES!
And if you want to take it up at notch, serve it in a sour dough bread bowl!
At the very least, serve it with sour dough bread…..something about the two together takes it into a whole other realm.
AND, it’s FAST AND EASY!
Chop up all your veggies.
In your favorite soup pot, saute veggies in butter until tender.
Stir in bisquick mixture to make roux.
Stir in chicken broth and heat until boiling and thickened.
Add half & half, stir until heated but don’t bring to a boil.
Add in cheese and stir until melted. *Do not allow soup to boil after adding half & half and cheese.
Salt and pepper to taste.
And don’t forget the sour dough bread!
