Note
For a richer texture, you can use whole milk instead of skim or 2%.
If you prefer a smoother soup, you can blend the vegetable mixture with an immersion blender before adding the cheese, though leaving it chunky adds nice texture.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if the soup has thickened too much upon cooling.
Variations: Add cooked bacon bits or green onions on top for extra flavor and garnish.
