Janine
I don't think that I would market this as a vegetarian soup as it has cheese in it. Cheese comes from milk that comes from a cow. Perhaps a rethink is needed?

Hi Janine! Generally cheese (unless it contains animal rennet) is considered vegetarian, but not vegan. So yes, I would consider recipes with cheese vegetarian. /Emmeline

Um excuse me but soups laden with cream, cheese and chicken stock arent vegetarian.

Hi Mark! Generally cheese (unless it contains animal rennet) is considered vegetarian, but not vegan. If you found recipes with chicken stock then that's a mistake from my side, please let me know which recipe(s) and I will remove them. /Emmeline
