This soup was absolutely delicious! My whole family enjoyed it, and I would have made a double batch if I'd known how good it was... :-) . I substituted coconut oil for the vegan margarine, and instead of soy cheese I used about a tablespoon plus of Nutritional Yeast. Otherwise I followed the recipe down to the nutmeg and green onions (of course I used sea salt where it said salt). Yummy and definitely worth making again. Thank you!
