Preparation
Chef’s notes
Some brands of shredded cheese melt more easily than others. To play it safe, I recommend buying a block of cheddar and shredding it yourself just before adding in the cheese. But I used Kraft brand for this recipe, and it melted perfectly!
Depending on the kind of cheddar cheese that you use, this soup may need more/less salt.
If you want to thicken the soup, create a roux by heating 1 tablespoon each of butter and flour together, then whisk in the chicken stock before adding the remaining ingredients.
For a pureed soup, use an immersion or traditional blender.
