Vegetable-Cheese Soup

By Louise Pickerel

"Cooking with friends — that's pretty much what my life has been about," writes Louise Pickerel of Muskogee, Oklahoma. "When I moved here from Texas ten years ago, it was hard to leave the people I'd known for so long, but I've probably met two hundred new people since then. I have always entertained, but now that I'm retired, I finally have more time to play bridge and cook."

Louise likes to serve this chunky soup with ham or roast beef sandwich wraps.
