How to Make Cheddar Cheese Soup

There is nothing more delicious and satisfying than cheddar cheese soup. It is also very quick and easy to make, and so there is really nothing to it, even if you have little to no cooking experience. Of all the different cheddar cheese soup recipes that you can follow, here are a few in particular that are always a family favorite.

Cheddar Broccolini Soup

This is a delicious cheddar cheese soup that everyone should try out at least once. For it you will need just a few ingredients, and this includes 1 pound broccolini, 4 cups vegetable broth, 4 tablespoons butter, ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper, 1 bunch green onions, 5 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 ½ cups milk, 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ½ to 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon Creole seasoning, and 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper.

Now to prepare this soup, you want to use a medium saucepan and bring broccolini and vegetable broth to a boil, and then you reduce the heat to low, simmer for about five minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Now you start in a large saucepan, and heat the butter over medium-low heat and add the bell pepper, green onions, and continue cooking this for about two minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

Finally you slowly stir in the milk, cook, stirring, until thick or bubbly, and then pour the broccolini and vegetable broth into the sauce mixture.

Canadian Cheese Soup

This is another absolutely delicious cheddar cheese soup. For it you need ½ cup butter, 1 cup carrots, ½ cup celery, ½ cup chopped onion, 6 tablespoons flour, 3 cups chicken broth, 3 cups half and half cream, 2 pounds Velveeta cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, and picked Jalepeno slices.

Preparation of this soup is incredibly simple. You just melt the butter in a stockpot, add the carrots, onions, celery, and sauté until tender. Now you add the flour and stir until the flour is completely blended into the butter. Next you cook the mixture until you see it has turned a light brown color, increase the heat a bit, add the chicken broth, and continue to cook until a thick base has formed.

To finish this off, you add the cheese, and just before serving you add the parsley. Remember to garnish with the Jalepeno pepper slices or roasted red bell pepper slices.

One great tip is to substitute sharp cheddar cheese in place of the cheddar cheese in a recipe, for a richer flavor.
