01
Step 1
Start by melting a quarter cup of butter in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, and tomato, and cook everything gently until the veggies are nice and soft. Once that’s done, blend the cooked vegetables together with the vegetable broth until smooth, then set that aside for a bit.

Step 2
Next, grab a separate pot and melt the rest of the butter. Slowly whisk in the flour to make a roux, then gradually add the half and half, stirring as you go. When the mixture is warm and creamy, stir in the cheese until it melts completely. Finally, pour in the veggie puree, give it a good stir, and your soup is ready to enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley can add extra freshness and creaminess.

Let the soup cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove to preserve the texture.
