Notes
Vegetables: Either fresh or frozen is fine to use.
Stock: You can use vegetable or chicken stock in this recipe, depending on your preference. If you like a thinner soup, add slightly more, or less for a thicker heartier version. I like Marigold Boullion Powder.
To make in the slow cooker: Add the same ingredients and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours.
Optional toppings: You can put any cheese you like into this soup. It would be delicious with Parmesan, Stilton or Gruyere, or a combination. It is a great way of using up leftover bits of cheese in your fridge. Croutons would also be good.
Vegan: Simply omit the cheese in this recipe and swap the milk for a dairy-free version.
