2 small red potatoes, peeled and halved (6 ounces)
2 medium carrots, cut crosswise into 2-inch lengths

1 pinch Sugar

4 slices Whole wheat bread , toasted

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large heavy pot. Add the herbs and celery and cook, stirring, until wilted and soft, about 3 minutes. Add the rest of the veggies and broth, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Place a slice of toast in each soup bowl and pour the soup over. Dust with nutmeg and sprinkle with grated cheese
