Cheese Soup – Customize Each Bowl!
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.

Broccoli cheese soup is not one of my favorites, but potato soup is.
My mom loves soup & I’m definitely going to try your cheese soup for her, Christy.
She’s 92 years young! 🙂
I accept your challenge – absolutely – dinner with ‘family’ doesn’t have to mean those that are related to you by blood but also those that you ‘call’ family. As my family by DNA is more than 1500 miles away, I’ll call on my closest family which are my best friends/family. So yes, I accept. Blessed be
I eat dinner with my husband every night.

Yes, I accept the challenge. I love cheese and this soup sounds delicious.
I’m single, so I eat alone most of the time. However, I do try and have the family over whenever their busy schedules permit. I love making soup, especially in the colder weather. This cheese soup is on the top of my list because it’s so easy to “customize” and I don’t feel I’m eating the same soup time after time. God Bless you and the family Christy. ♥
Wow! This sounds like a lot of fun! Challenge accepted! I’m already a Bordon Cheese fan, so I know this soup is going to be super yummy. Can’t wait to see what my son puts in his, lol. he eats some pretty strange combinations already. 😀
