Author's Notes: This is one of my favorite cold-weather soups; the recipe came from a friend of a friend of a friend. The listed vegetables are really just suggestions. Use whatever suits your fancy, or is in the refrigerator.
Because of the cheese, this soup doesn't survive a night in the refrigerator very well.
Difficulty : easy. Precision : approximate measureme
