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.

  1. Yes! Challenge accepted:) We need to make more time to spend with family. Instead of rushing through life missing these kind of moments. Thank you!

  2. Challenge accepted. This recipe for cheese soup sounds delicious, but what is the difference in the different paprika? Hungarian? Smoke? And regular paprika?

  3. My husband and I are empty nesters now. So, eating in the family room, in front of the tv became the norm. Our New Year’s resolution was to eat at the dining room table each night we had dinner st home. So far, we have kept that resolution and it’s been great!!

  4. i agree that this is a great challenge. BUT what if you’re single and the kids are grown? does that mean we can’t be included in this challenge? after all, we still have to eat. but i do have three birds that are referred to as “my feathered “kids.

  5. We enjoy eating together. However, there is only the two of us now. Finding recipes for 2 is a challenge!
