This recipe is my attempt to lighten up a soup recipe that has been a family favorite for more than 20 yrs. The original recipe came to us from a good friend of my sister’s. We refer to it as "Lorraine’s Cheesy Vegetable Soup". The recipe includes 2 cups half & half & 3 cups cheese. Its very creamy & delicious, but not very healthy. I underwent weight-loss surgery a few months ago & am now trying to incorporate more veggies & less fats into my diet while still being able to enjoy what I eat. I made the addition of red peppers to add flavor & color & hot sauce for a hint of heat. I included fresh thyme to give a touch of herb flavor. I added corn for a bit of sweetness & texture. I cut back the half & half to whole milk & reduced the cheese by 3 to 1. What it lost in creaminess it gained in flavor. Serve it in a bread bowl, top with a little extra cheese & it’s a comfort food you don’t have to feel (too) guilty about.
