This was given to me by a dear friend and is now my favorite soup. You can substitute Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the Asiago cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 cup chopped onion
2 carrots, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
5 ¼ cups chicken broth
2 ½ cups water
