Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour the thickened milk mixture into the simmering vegetable soup, stir to combine and simmer a couple of minutes. For the cheesy croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
