It was actually cold enough last week for us to have not one, but TWO nights of soups. Can you believe it? There was much excitement in our house...lol! This recipe is a favorite. Who doesn't love cheese and more cheese? Certainly not us. This is a quick and easy soup that comes together in a cinch. It takes more time to grate the cheese than it does to make the soup. And it is smooth as velvet and has the most delicious cheese flavor. Bonus: No need for Velveeta! This makes a small pot so I always double the recipe because my family eats it up.
Enjoy!
Creamy Cheddar Cheese Soup
1 onion, finely diced
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp AP flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup green onions, optional
crumbled bacon, optional
In a saucepan, saute onion in butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Blend in flour. Add stock and cream, whisking to break up any flour lumps. Cook until thick. Add cheese and stir until melted. Salt and pepper to taste. Add garnish such as green onions and bacon.
