Just wanted to say I made an absolutely splendid soup by taking this simple recipe and running with it. I used sourdough bread, a mix of Gruyère and Parmesano Reggiano for the cheese, used 5 cups water and 2 cups apple cider as the base, then added two baked onions that had been diced up (based on John’s baked onion video) and some sun dried heirloom tomatoes. Then we used diced scallions as the garnish and sprinkled bacon bits on top and served it with sippets of sourdough toast. I think it’s one of the best soups I ever ate.

A quick warning. If there is ANY Mold on the bread... throw the bread away. Don't just try to cut off the visible mold. Only a small part of the mold, is green and visible. The rest of the mold is oftentimes the same color as bread, and therefor invisible. Eating it can be hazardous to your health. So if you see any visible mold spots, throw the entire piece of bread away. If its just dried out, but not moldy... it might be fine.

[@AmusedWalrus]

Born in Cheshire, UK. Cheese from there was usually quite salty as there are salt mines there. Salt was easy to get and the climate is good for pasture. Cheese was known from there from Roman times and is in the Domesday Book. These days it's mild, crumbly with quite a high melting point. I suspect that back in the day, it depended on the farmhouse. Cheese soup I grew up with - soften finely diced carrot, onion and bacon or ham, add stock and mustard, simmer twenty minutes, add grated cheese off the heat, serve. It's the same principle of using up the bits. I really enjoy your channel, thank you so much for sharing.

So we decided to try this last night. A couple of notes for the modern masses. This is not quick convenient spur of the moment cooking for today's attention span, just because it's simple. Set aside a little time. It's probably easier if you make sure to remove the crust. Assimilating the bread was probably the slowest stage, because we went with fairly big pieces, and left the crust on. If you're near the end and think, "This looks too thin, and I've got more bread. I'll just pulverize it and add it in for a thicker soup!" don't. We woke up this morning and the leftovers were thickened into a delicious cheesy bread pudding.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE IF YOU MAKE THIS You might want to double check your not using extra sharp cheddar or another aged block cheese. I did and it kept coagulating. Apparently aged cheeses don't emulsify as well or at least mine didn't.

Not sure if anyone will see this but hope it helps.
