Excellent soup. The only thing I changed was I used a combo of an aged British cheddar, some Jarlsberg, and an aged Fontina. The Fontina added this really wonderful olive taste that just went so well with the cheddar. Also, make sure you add a little salt while cooking the garlic and onions.

Pretty good! I added some grilled chicken and used a combo of smoked cheddar and medium cheddar.
