CANADIAN CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot, bring the broth to a boil.
• 2. Add celery, carrot and onion. Simmer 25 minutes until veggies are soft but not mushy.
• 3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Add flour and stir constantly with wire whisk, until smooth and free of limps. Cook this roux 8 to 10 minutes, still over low heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching.
• 4. Turn the heat down under the broth to medium-low. Add the roux to the broth. Continue to whisk until smooth and thick about 5 minutes.
• 5. Slowly add Cheez Whiz and grated cheeses. Continue cooking until cheese is melted, whisking occasionally.
• 6. Heat milk in microwave until warm. Add to soup slowly. Whisk until smooth. You can add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
• 7. Serve with toasted croutons or crackers. Refrigerate leftovers.

CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in large heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and salt. Sweat for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Sift the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Gradually add the chicken stock and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
• Remove bay leaf. Turn off the heat, add the heavy cream, and then puree with an immersion blender or in a conventional blender*. Gradually add the cheese, 1 small handful at a time, and stir until melted before adding next handful. Stir in the Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and white pepper. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If soup is not hot enough, return to a low heat until warmed through.
• *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

JIM'S CHEESE SOUP RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Pour water in large stockpot and bring to boil. Add celery, onion, carrots and chicken base and simmer about 30 minutes, or until celery is tender but firm. Meanwhile, in heavy skillet, melt butter or margarine over low heat; add flour and mix constantly with wire whisk until smooth and free of lumps. Cook this roux 8 to 10 minutes, still over low heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Reduce heat under soup to medium-low, add cooked roux to soup and continue to whisk until smooth and thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Cheese Whiz and grated cheese slowly and continue cooking until cheese is melted, whisking occasionally. Heat milk until warm in double boiler, or in microwave. Add to mixture slowly, whisking as necessary until smooth. Add milk until soup is desired consistency. (More milk may be needed after soup has been refrigerated.) Note: The original recipe called for 2 cups flour; in testing, we found 1 cup flour made the soup the thickness we preferred.
