You don’t need a rainbow to find this Pot o’ Gold Soup, the rainbow is already in it!
It’s full of a rainbow of vegetables 🌈
and golden cheese
This “pot o’ gold” is simple to put together
Since it’s full of colorful vegetables, that cancels out the cheese and cream 😊
Saute the vegetables and then add the liquids and everything but the cheese
Cook this for a few minutes, then add the cheese
Cover and let the soup simmer on low to melt the cheese, 15-20 minutes
Don’t forget the “Lucky Croutons!”

Lucky Croutons
- Cut off stem ends of brussels sprouts and halve.
