To this base, you can add: steamed broccoli and American cheese; chunks of baked potato (peel and all) with American cheese, bacon pieces, and chives; puréed, stewed tomatoes for a bisque; leeks that have been cleaned well, steamed, and chopped; cooked asparagus cut into pieces (if canned asparagus is used, add some of the liquid as well), topped with grated cheese and bacon pieces.
