Notes
Remove the soup off the heat while blending in the cheese. If you continue to cook the soup with cheese in, it will stick to the pan and utensils like glue and is hard to remove
For the best flavour, choosing the best quality stock makes a huge difference
If you want to add a more complex flavour, soften the onions in butter until translucent and minced garlic cloves over medium-high heat for a few minutes
If you want some texture left in, blend half of the soup, grate all the veg first, or mash with a potato masher instead of using a blender
Season the soup to taste at the end for more control
Stir in some fresh herbs at the end for an extra fresh taste
