Serve hot in bowls. Garnish with extra cheddar cheese or fresh herbs like parsley or basil. This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a simple green salad. If you have leftovers, let the soup cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze it, leaving space in the container for expansion.
