Cheese Soup

Serves 4

ingredients

1 chopped onion
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium potatoes
1 carrot
1 zucchini
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups vegetable stock or water
1 cup skim milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

directions

Chop the onions and saute in oil for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Meanwhile, chop the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini into approximately 1/2 inch chunks and stir those in with the onions. Add the stock (or water) and spices and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir in the milk and cheese, and cook just until melted and blended. If you like, you can also use a handblender to partially puree the soup which will thicken it somewhat.
