The Iowa Housewife: Southwest Cheese Soup

The Iowa Housewife: Southwest Cheese Soup: This nice hot soup is quick and easy – simple enough to prepare while the cornbread is baking.  I used home canned corn and black beans...

This looks really yummy! She recommends using half of the cheese recommended in the recipe.
