The Ingredients You’ll Need to Make this Cheese Soup recipe are:
- Borden® Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Butter, Heavy Cream (or milk)

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.

What a wonderful challenge. My Mom worked for Borden Dairy for years and I remember all the wonderful things she would bring home including giant blocks of cheese – yummy. Nothing better than a big bowl of cheese soup customized to your liking. I long for those days of a family sitting down to dinner. My kids are grown and living on their own so I really treasure those times when they are able to come over and we can sit down as a family for a great meal.
Since my daughter is an adult I really cannot talk about the present in the past family diners were very important because I worked and she was in school and it was a chance to go over our days and reconnect.
I accept the challenge! What a wonderful way for families to learn to reconnect with each other. Thank you for doing this!
I love seeing pictures and hearing about your sweet family….and the soup recipe sounds yummy!
I like the ham and broccoli option too.
Yes! Challenge Accepted. Love this. Now I have a way to get my family to the table. Thanks y’all.
Your Challenge is accepted. No take out all week. Your cheese soup looks delish. Thanks.
