A family favorite cheesy soup recipe for fall
Soup is one of my (Amanda) favorite things to make. It is an easy way to make a large meal with lots of veggies and protein all in one pot to fill everyone up. When the kids were young, they would invite their friends over for breakfast or supper and by the time the kitchen was cleaned, they were all hungry again. So, I had to figure out a way to make food that would stick to their ribs.
This is when cooking from scratch became fun for me. I would combine different ingredients together to see what my family enjoyed the most. I made soup come alive by adding half and half, heavy cream, cheese and/or potatoes. Especially for my husband, as he prefers a hearty soup rather than a meal with a lot of broth.
