Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 2 carrots, peeled and sliced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 zucchini, diced; 1 yellow squash, diced; 1 bell pepper, any color, chopped; 1 can diced tomatoes, with juice; 4 cups vegetable broth; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper, and cook for a few more minutes until all the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Just before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and incorporates into the soup, creating a rich and creamy texture.
Ladle the Cheese Maker's Vegetable Soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with some crusty bread or crackers on the side.
