For an enhanced flavor profile, consider sautéing 1 cup of sliced mushrooms with the onions. A splash of dry white wine (about 1 cup) added after the onions have softened will also add a delightful complexity.
If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup gummy.
Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your personal preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add a subtle kick.
