Make yourself a hot and delicious bowl of Creamy Cheddar Cheese Soup to keep you warm tonight! This soup is a hugely popular one with my kids, although no surprise there as it’s brimming with melted, oozing Cheddar cheese! My cheese soup recipe is very easy to follow, with only a few ingredients. The combination of whole milk and chicken broth makes a wonderful creamy base for the soup.
If you have vegetarians in your family of course you can sub vegetarian broth in for the chicken, but if not I really recommend sticking with the meaty version as it adds extra depth and flavor to the soup.
Make sure to whisk the cheddar in well so that you don’t get any lumpy cheesy bits, although again, who would complain about that!
To make Creamy Cheddar Cheese Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
Melt the butter in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the flour and cook, stirring, until combined with the onions.
Pour in the broth and continue to cook until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly.
Add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pan and bring to a boil again over a medium heat.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cheese until fully melted.
Divide the soup between bowls and serve.
My Cheesy Cheddar Soup couldn’t be any cheesier! Serve with a big hunk of crusty bread. Don’t forget to snap your soup bowl and tag #cookmerecipes so I can see how you get on!
So CREAMY AND CHEESY
