Notes
Let the veggies simmer fully for deeper flavor.
Use sharp cheddar for the best cheesy bite.
For extra flavor, add smoked paprika or hot sauce.
Soften cream cheese before adding—it blends more easily.
To thin the soup, add a splash of milk or broth.
For freezing, omit cheese until reheating to maintain a smooth texture.
