Swiss Cheese Soup, also known as Käsesuppe in Switzerland, is a popular comfort food throughout the country. This creamy soup is perfect for warming up on cold winter nights and is often served as a main course. The use of emmenthaler cheese, a traditional Swiss cheese, gives the soup a rich and savory flavor. The oatmeal and potatoes add heartiness to the soup, making it a filling and satisfying meal. Serve with a slice of crusty bread for the ultimate comfort meal experience.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, melt the butter and add the salt and oatmeal. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat to toast the oatmeal.

3.	Once the potatoes are tender, turn heat down and add the grated emmenthaler cheese to the pot. Mix well until the cheese has melted.
4.	If desired, add a dash of nutmeg to the soup for added flavor.
5.	Serve hot and enjoy!
