A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago. It has been a family favorite; we usually call it cheese soup. In the corner of the card there is a smudged reference to some issue of an Ideal magazine I think. Hope you enjoy it!
Walker-Stalker Cream of Parsley Soup
2 cups chopped fresh parsley (remove tough stems)
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1/4 cup margarine
3 cups vegetable broth (I frequently use plain water)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 cups milk
2/3 cup powdered milk
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese (best if you buy a chunk of Parm and grate in the blender)
2/3 cup grated cheddar
Salt and pepper to taste (I use 1 1/4 teaspoon salt)
Simmer parsley, onions, margarine, & broth until parsley is dark and limp (about 15 minutes). Stir water and flour together into smooth paste. Add to parsley mixture. Stir and cook 'til thickened. Add milk and powdered milk. Continue stirring until smooth. Salt & pepper to taste. 5 minutes before serving, add cheeses. Cook until cheeses are melted and soup is heated through. Stir slightly each time you ladle out a scoop--the cheeses sink to the bottom.

Thanks for posting this, Jean! It is certainly the healthiest cheese soup recipe I've seen. Love the ingredients. Where did that name come from?
Thanks again,

I don't know for sure. I always thought that the author spent her time walking and looking for parsley the way we look for asparagus! It has been so long since I first saw this recipe that I cannot say if this is a memory or my imagination, though.

I like 'the cheese sinks to the bottom' part.
Yum.
Glad to see the letters are a normal size again. Wow. That was a bit jarring :o)
