Notes

Soup Pot : I have linked to the Caraway brand dutch oven pot (affiliate link above) that I LOVE! With that said, it is pricey, and I just love to share the things that I use in my own kitchen. Any larger soup pot or pan will work just fine.

Cheese : Grate the cheese, using a box cheese grater, from a block of cheese. Shredding your own cheese makes a world of difference. Promise! I like using medium cheddar cheese but you can use mild or sharp cheddar, or even a white cheddar cheese.
