Increase heat to bring to a simmer, then lower heat and continue to simmer, uncovered, until vegetables soften, about 20 minutes.

My DH and I were invited to an RSC dinner where PaulaG prepared this dish. This soup is definately a keeper. It is so creamy and cheesy and full of flavor with the rest of the ingrredients. When preparing this dish, you might want to double the recipe because people will be asking for more.

A delicious, well flavored soup. The direction are very easy to follow and the soup cooked in the time frame specified. Made exactly as written and served as a soup course for an RSC dinner party. Good luck in RSC #11.

We just didn't care for this soup. The shallots, thyme and oregano were too strong, and I only used 1 large shallot. Thanks for posting.

4 stars! This was quite easy to put together and I really enjoyed the flavor combination. I even got to use my brand new immersion blender! The consistancy was good and it was really quite filling. We topped our soup with additional asiago and croutons. The croutons were the perfect touch!
