Wisconsin Cheese Soup

Recipe Description

Creamy, loaded with vegetables and oozing with cheese, this Wisconsin Cheese Soup is a winner with the little ones!

What makes a Cheese Soup from Wisconsin? Well I guess it has something to do with the addition of cheese and milk, making this a creamy soup perfectly suited to America’s Dairyland state. I can’t recommend this soup enough for cooking up for your family. Vegetables? Check – carrots and broccoli florets. Rich broth? Check – chicken bouillon cooked down with butter and onions. And cheese? Check! A good grating of Cheddar is melted into the soup, making the whole thing wonderfully cheesy, ever popular with kids!

To make Wisconsin Cheese Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

Superb soup for chilly nights! My kiddos loved it, and it's so easy to whip up. I made it last week during a snowstorm and they couldn't get enough of the cheesy goodness. Gotta admit, I joined in on the fun too. Definitely a winner!
