 shallots, garlic, leeks, bay leaves, and thyme. Season with salt, pepper,
 and cayenne. Stir in the broth and bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce
 to a simmer. Simmer the soup for about 1 hour. Skim the soup occasionally
 to remove any fat that rises to the top. Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the
 grated cheese and green onions. Ladle the soup in a shallow bowl. Garnish
