Cheesy Vegetable Soup
Earthy aromas, sautéed vegetables with rich cheesy sumptuousness is the best way to describe Cheesy Vegetable Soup! This vegetarian soup (stew?) is just as hearty and filling as your favorite beef stew and so delicious!
If you're like me and can't get enough great comforting meal, be sure and try this Alphabet Soup Recipe.
You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this soup! But just because it's meatless, don't think it doesn't bring the flavor. This soup is mighty tasty AND it's done in just 30 minutes!
Hearty and filling this is a delicious soup and an easy 30 minute meal.Chopped veggies, cream sherry, vegetable stock and a couple of cheeses - goat & pepper jack. That and some spices round out this soup.
If you don't have these vegetables, add the ones you have in your fridge, kale & spinach would be a delicious addition, as would carrots, celery or corn - you'll need about 8-10 cups of chopped vegetables. In fact it takes longer to chop the vegetables then it does to cook the soup!
