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.

Family meals are so important! It is one of the best ways to communicate with your family members. Adding Borden’s cheese to any meal is a wonderful idea.
Yum !! Borden block cheese is a family favorite,& it just melts so smoothly and doesn’t lump up. Sitting down to supper as a family is the greatest part of the day! My husband and 3 sons love to crumble up tortilla chips and add hot sauce to their cheese soup ! So easy to customize for a group too, and just sit out little bowls of mix ins for your company ! 🙂
Interesting, I never had cheese soup. It sounds good and would fit our low carb lifestyle. Never heard of Borden cheese either. Only cheese sold here comes from Wisconsin or Kraft.
Thanks for reminding us how important this is
This soup looks delicious! And low carb too!! I don’t think Katy will be using the stool much longer.
???? Or is she standing on a stool???
We had dinner together – as we usually do. Hope all is well with your family.
We make it the rule to eat dinner at the table together. It’s a time to connect.
