A portmanteau of "cheese" and "crouton". A cube of (usually hard) cheese placed into a bowl of soup or stew. The cheese becomes soft but essentially retains its shape, adding flavor, textural variety and heartiness to the dish.
That soup was pretty good on its own, but the addition of that parmesan cheeseton made it something special!!
