Yes, it is a great start. Made as is, it tasted like cheesy water. I put about four time the cheese, twice the potatoes and leeks and added Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and a lot of salt and a little cayenne pepper. It was still on the thin side, but when reheated for leftovers the next day is was sufficiently thick. If you like bland, thin soups, this is what you’re looking for.
