VERMONT CHEDDAR BISQUE
The October 11-17, 2009 issue of the American Profile in my Saturday newspaper insert was entitled "Soup's On" A former Navy Seabee (Ken Haedrich) builds hearty soups for the fall and this is one of the soups that looked delicious to me. The recipes are from Ken's book Soup Makes the Meal (Harvard Common Press, 2001). Ken says about the recipe: "No one has ever asked me, but I've thought about what I'd like to eat for my last meal. I'm pretty sure it would be Welsh rarebit on toast points. This soup is just a step or two removed from that dish. The flavor is virtually the same; it's just thinner, though still quite full-bodied".

Tips:
- Use high-quality cheddar cheese. This is the main ingredient in the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a sharp or extra-sharp cheddar that is well-aged.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Use a combination of milk and cream. This will give the soup a rich and creamy flavor.
- Season the soup to taste. Be sure to add enough salt and pepper, as well as other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or thyme.
