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.

Since my husband and I are empty nesters we will be happy to have dinner together each night! I think it makes for better communication and overall better relationship. With all the social media, texting, emails and voice mails, it’s nice to be able to have meals together without electronic interruptions. Love your column, Christy! God Bless and keep up the good work!
Challenge accepted, starting at supper.
My husband and I have an empty nest. We do sit down together each night to eat and our oldest son comes over for Sunday noon meal. I am determined that not only do we eat together but we have meaningful conversation. No phones allowed.
Great recipe,I can’t wait to try it.
Hi Christy
I love the picture of your kids. they look like they are having a marvelous time. My husband and I always sit at the kitchen table for our meals. I am looking forward to some of my family coming over this week and you can be sure we will all be sitting down for a dinner of cheese soup. I just know they will all love it. I think I might just give this recipe to my 14 year old granddaughter and let her make it. She would be so proud.
Love your recipes.
