Summer Vegetable Soup with Cheese
Those females in my family, with their tireless imaginations, would find no end of ways to slip in an extra food group, turning a soup into a more nutritionally balanced meal. Why make a béchamel when protein is so easy to add in the form of a little cheese? With good bread and some fruit, how could you want more?INGREDIENTS

1 onion, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
