If you are coming from Pinterest my apologies for the spelling error on the pin. I spelled Wisconsin wrong. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to fix it because it is an older pin from back in 2016 and Pinterest doesn't allow you to fix that. 🙁 Just wanted to point that out for all the people who have to point out spelling errors and mistakes like that. HA!
Back in 2016, I mentioned how I might be lactose intolerant but it turns out that I'm just sensitive to dairy and gluten. I had one of those sensitivity food tests done and those were the top two foods causing digestion issues. That and artificial sweeteners, but that doesn't stop me from having this delicious bowl of soup every now and then. The pain that comes after is well worth it. 🙂
This would be a good time to find a picture of a true pretzel on pinterest, or any other website and compare it to this one above where the caption would read "nailed it."

Gosh I'd be over the moon if someone made me this for dinner. It all looks amazing! The name just needs changing.. you DID nail it. Sorry about your health issue though. I've not had this sort of soup before but I'm soup crazy no matter what time of year and I live where it is hot most of the year.

Lactose intolerant... what a bummer 🙁 Sorry to hear that you'll be skipping cheese for a while. Btw I think your pretzel looks great! Sure, it doesn't have the classic pretzel shape but the shape actually looks perfect for a pretzel roll to serve with this soup. Lol @ your "nailed it" comment.
