Yummy soup. I left out the cream, as I didn't have any, and just used a bit more cheese. My cheese was extra sharp cheddar, which really gave it a bit more flavor. For the spices, I used 1 teaspoon of mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, and a few grates of fresh nutmeg. I felt this needed more salt at the end, so I used a total of about 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt. At the last minute, I added a dash of Tabasco sauce as well. This is very good, and the portions are generous. I'll definitely be making this again.
