Notes
The sauteed veggies in the soup do add a little bit of texture to the recipe. I really enjoy the texture, but if you want your soup to be completely smooth, you can use an immersion blender in the soup right before adding the cheese and tomatoes. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully pour the liquid into a blender and blend completely before returning to the stove to add the cheese and tomatoes.
