Vegetable-Cheese Soup

This recipe was in my "Fix-It and Forget-It" cookbook and it is very good. The recipe calls for a jar of processed cheese spread but the only thing I had on hand was a jar of Spartan con queso salsa, in medium. It was good and I will use it again in this recipe but will buy the mild next time as even though it was a medium hotness, it still had more than I am used to! It had a kick to it!   :)
