Welsh Rarebit Soup

So I have been on kind of a kick about welsh rarebit. But I really don’t want to just make it to serve on toast points seems kind of underwhelming. I made Welsh rarebit yorkshire pudding the other day and it was just “ok” so I wanted to try something else. I decided to try it as a soup. I figure cheese soup is good why not add that kick from Worcestershire and mustard?

    • For you and Louise you might want to cut the recipe in half unless you want to freeze and I am not sure how it would freeze.
