Vegetable Cheese Soup

Today, I have a simple vegetable cheese soup recipe for you. Unlike my other easy cheesy vegetable soup, this one does not use processed cheese. You just use regular shredded cheese for this one.
It soup comes together in about 45 minutes and is basically made in one pot. The vegetables are added in stages so they all turn out nice and tender. So simple, so easy, and so cheesy!
It includes the basic veggies that you find in many soups – carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Those veggies are all surrounded by a cheesy soup made made with butter, broth, flour, milk, and cheese. I use a medium cheddar. However, feel free to use a mild or sharp cheddaer cheese if you prefer.
