Canadian Cheddar Soup
"I got this delicious recipe from my friend, Lydia, that owns a rubber stamping store in our town. I design stamps for her. Her husband is the one that makes this yummy soup. I first had it at her home and had seconds, but didn't want to act "piggy" and ask for thirds, so I made it myself and guess what--I had it for breakfast, lunch and snacks during the day. I did this till it was gone and over the course of a couple of days, I ate the whole thing. Don't let the parsnips scare you, but please do add them. They give flavor but you do not taste them."

The flavor was good, but the soup was water-thin. I would make it again, but I plan to thicken it when I do. -
I made this today and it was a huge hit. Very tasty and perfect for a cold night. Thanks for sharing. This is a keeper that I'll make again and again. -
This was very good soup that's quick and easy to prepare. I'm sure I'll make this again and perhaps add a couple of dashes of Tabasco to liven it up. Thanks for sharing this recipe Mimi!
