The Ingredients You’ll Need to Make this Cheese Soup recipe are:
- Borden® Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Butter, Heavy Cream (or milk)
- Onion
- Chicken Broth
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
Note: It is best not to use pre-shredded cheese for this as it won’t melt as well as the block cheese will.
While Brady handles the cheese grating, Katy is getting started with the first step over on the stovetop.
I am specifically using Borden® Cheese here because it is delicious, all natural, and is made by a cooperative of over 8,000 family owned dairy farms across the United States. The cheeses they offer include: Mild Cheddar, Mozzarella, Mexican, Swiss, Sharp Cheddar, American, Colby Jack, and more. They are available in singles, shreds, chunks, slices, strings, and snacks! This is creamy, flavorful, delicious cheese made in our homeland and it just makes every dish better.
This cheese soup is as simple as can be to make.
- Melt butter in a medium stock pot over medium heat.
- Add onions and cook, stirring often, until browned.
- Add in broth, cream, and seasonings.
- Reduce to simmer and cook, stirring often, for about ten minutes.
- Add in shredded cheese and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted.

The cheese soup recipe looks great. I will try this recipe the next time I want a Cheese based soup. I was brought up having evening meals (at least 6 times a week) with my parents and sister so it is not surprising that when married my husband and I carried on this same tradition with our children and I am very happy to tell you that it is still being carried on by our children and grandchildren. Thank You Christy for bringing this challenge to your many readers.
Challenge accepted! As a single person, instead of eating at the counter or on the couch, I am going to sit at the table and enjoy my meal!
Yes, I accept this challenge, and we always say the Blessing before we eat! We are empty nesters now, but we still eat meals together. Thank you for such wonderful recipes, Christy! This soup looks delicious, and I will be making it!
We eat dinner together pretty much every night of the week, whether it’s home-cooked or a pizza from the shop around the corner. Love the pic of your children, Christy. Just precious!
I talked to my 96-year-old mother today about making tea cakes. She always made such good ones and I was checking her recipe against your two recipes. No, I’m not crazy. I know we’re looking at cheese soup here and I plan to try it.
What’s not to love about that recipe?!!! My sweetie and I have dinner together every night.
Thank you so much for using cheese from a dairy cooperative of family owned farms.
