When I first came up with my recipe, I was attempting to re-create the soup
I'd had at the old 91st Bomb Group Restaurant out by the airport in Memphis.
I think I remember them adding bits of diced ham or cooked chopped bacon to
the soup, too. I also forgot to mention, salt & pepper to taste, but to me
that's a given. Cheddar is a little salty so I wait to add salt when I make
any soup with cheese in it.
