Right now, the weather keeps bouncing back between winter and spring. This has me in different moods in reguards to our evening meals. One minunte I’m craving soup, the next day I’m wanted more fresh dishes. This creamy cheesy vegetable soup is one of those recipes I made on one of those more winter feeling days.
It is kind of a nice transition meal for right now. It has a lot of nice veggies, but is also warm and cheesy. You can find that mirepiox is the base. You have butter and olive oil to cook the carrots, onion, and celery in. Then, you also have garlic, potatoes, broccoli, and corn in there next.
The creamy cheesy base is made from chicken broth, flour, milk, heavy creamy, and sharp cheddar cheese. There is also Italian seasoning added in there for flavor. It works so well with all those vegetables in there. Just serve this creamy cheesy vegetable soup up with some crusty warm bread or a nice hot roll the side and you are set! I did serve this up with the recipe for potato rolls I shared with you all last week.
