Comments: You can really use any cheese for this - it is a matter of preference. Also, for vegetarians, use vegetable stock instead of chicken.
Ingredients:
1 to taste salt and pepper

Optional Ingredients:
1 Cup mushrooms sliced Add to shopping list

Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the cornmeal and the water, stir until smooth. Let sit 5 to 7 minutes.

If using, saute the mushrooms in a small skillet in the heated butter or oil. Cook until partially softened. Remove from heat.

Bring stock to boil in a 3 quart saucepan. Add the soaked cornmeal and stir well. Reduce heat to low. Let simmer, covered for 7 minutes.

Add the mushrooms and stir. Return the lid and continue to simmer until thickened, about 7 more minutes.

Stir in the cheese and add salt and ground white pepper to taste. Remove from heat once the cheese is melted and incorporated.

Serve warm.
