The Ingredients You’ll Need to Make this Cheese Soup recipe are:
- Borden® Sharp Cheddar Cheese

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.

This sounds like a good recipe to try to make. Thanks for all that you share in your blog.
We eat dinner together most nights. We will try the cheese soup. Never thought to make a plain cheese soup and add the mix ins. Why does block cheese melt better than pre-shredded cheese?
Pre shredded cheese is coated in an anti caking coating, usually cellulose, which keeps it form becoming a big old clump in the bag – but it also prevents it from becoming nice and smooth when melted.
Family dinners are fun and lets you reconnect with the family.
Love the photo of your children in this, and especially the t-shirt! Go Chargers!!! Would love the win too…Blessings…
Eating together is one of the most important things a family can do. Memories are made, problems are solved, and lessons are taught around the table. I am so glad I grew up in a family that believed in sharing a meal together and that I married a man who feels the same way.
Many important family memories are centered around the supper table. It’s a time to share the days happenings and plan for tomorrow’s. Brings families closer.
We eat dinner together almost every night of the week, unless my daughter works at night now and then. I don’t like it when we’re not all at the dinner table.
