Hello Rich,

No success with a recipe from Jim's Restaurant, but their menu calls it "Canadian Cheese Soup", and for that I can find a recipe. See below.

Phaed

Canadian Cheese Soup
 
1/2 cup butter 
1/2 cup flour 
1/2 tsp.salt 
3 cups milk 
2 cups grated cheese 
3/4 American 
1/4 cheddar 
1/4 cup finely diced celery 
1/4 cup finely chopped onion 
1/4 cup finely diced green peppers 
1/4 cup finely chopped carrots 
2 cups chicken broth (fresh or canned) 

Melt butter and blend in flour. Cook about 5 minutes on low heat.
Add salt and milk until thickened. Turn down heat and add grated 
cheese. Stir until melted, keeping heat low. Boil vegetables in 
chicken broth and add to cheese and milk. Bring to a simmering 
stage, but do not boil or cheese will curdle. Check for salt, 
add to taste. Paprika is optional.
