    Remove the soup from the heat and crumble in 1/2 pound of the cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted into the soup, then pour the soup through a strainer, reserving the liquid. Transfer the solid to a food processor or use a food mill fitted with a medium disc. Add 1 cup of the cooking stock and process until smooth.
