For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the potatoes, carrot, celery, and onion before adding them to the broth. This will bring out their natural sweetness. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend the entire mixture until creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley, croutons, or a dollop of sour cream for a delightful finishing touch. To make this soup vegetarian, ensure your vegetable broth is vegetarian-friendly. The choice of cheese greatly impacts the flavor profile. Experiment with different cheeses such as Gruyere, sharp cheddar, or even a smoked Gouda. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
