About

One of our most popular comforting soups, this is a forgiving recipe where many substitutions can be made depending on what you have to hand. The amount of chilli used is down to personal taste, and the amount of cheese depends on the strength and quality of the cheese. Beware when reheating this soup and keep the heat low as it burns very easily!
