Variations

I made this today with the following differences. I used 2 tbsps Bron’'s vegetable stock instead of chicken stock (no need to add salt). I didn’t bother gratinating it in the oven as I was only making it for myself, with the remainder going in the freezer. What I did was to make some cheese on toast under the grill, trimmed it and just plonked it in the soup.
