For a richer flavor, sauté a diced onion and some minced garlic in olive oil before adding the other ingredients. If you don't have American cheese on hand, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would work well. Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your desired soup consistency. This soup freezes well! Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.
