For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes. Add a pinch of nutmeg for warmth. To prevent the cheese from clumping, make sure the soup is not boiling when you add it. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
