The family loved this soup! I followed the recipe, but I did use a hand blender to puree the soup before adding the cheese. And I also used 3-4 TBSP of cornstarch in place of the flour per another review, making the dish gluten free. For the non GF eaters, I served the soup in bread bowls and everyone was happy. Great and quick recipe!
