Monterey Jack Cheese Soup image

Meet the Cook: Main-meal soups are something I'm always on the lookout for. Since I love cheese and our kids like anything with Mexican flavor, I knew this one would be popular at our house. I've served it with tacos, nachos or a loaf of bread. Our three children are grown, and we've just become proud grandparents. -Susan Salenski, Copemish, Michigan

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
