This is excellent. Very simple and made with leftovers but you would never know that and neither would your guests! It's a rich flavored soup that makes you savor every spoonful. I used fat free Swiss for the cheese. This was a wonderful dinner and I'll be making this soup whenever I have leftover roast. Thank you killer for a true keeper.
