Vegetable Soup

I know it's spring now, but we had a random weekend of snow here, so I decided to make some nice, warming soup to make myself feel better. I used water as a base, but feel free to replace it with a can of vegetable broth.

Vegetable Soup

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme
  • 1 cup milk
  • 12 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions

  1. Chop the bell pepper and the potatoes
  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat, then saute the bell pepper until tender, about 4-5 minutes
