Blue Ribbon Recipe

We went bonkers for this wonderfully creamy Monterey Jack cheese soup. Onions, chiles, and tomatoes make this soup full of flavor and give it almost a Mexican feel. Making a roux, and adding the cheese, thickens this soup and makes it very hearty. Delicious any time of the year!
