Notes

To make the soup extra creamy, blend half of it before adding the cheese for a silky texture.
Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option, and consider swapping out cheeses for unique flavors.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, but avoid freezing to maintain the creamy texture.
Always shred your own cheese for better melting properties, and don't skip the fresh herbs for added brightness!
