Finalist in 1980 Recipe Contest: JO STALLARD, Pacific Grove, CA.

"I'll never live this down;' teased grandmotherly Jo Stallard as she was crowned with a tiara of fresh garlic and draped in garlic wreaths. A vegetarian, Jo has turned her cooking talents to adapting recipes for meatless cooking. This delicious soup has always been a winner with her friends, she says, and so it was, too, with the 1980 Great Garlic Cook-off celebrity judges.

Generously butter inside of 3-quart baking dish. Combine all ingredients, except cheese and cream, in dish. Cover and bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees. Stir in cheeses and cream, lower heat to 325 degrees and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer. Do not allow to boil.

Mmmmm- GOOD! Serves 4 to 6.
