Reduce heat and add half and half; stir mixture. Add shredded sharp cheddar cheese and stir until cheese is completely melted and dissolved into mixture. Sprinkle sugar, pepper, and salt into soup, stir. Let soup simmer very slowly for 20 - 30 minutes taking care not to let soup scorch. When ready to serve garnish with shredded Colby/Jack cheese and maybe a little parsley. Add a crisp salad and hard rolls and you have a wonderful meal. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
