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. I enjoy getting the Emails. My husband and I eat dinner together every night . When the kids were here it was at 5:00 pm every night. 🙂

  3. Cheese, ham, broccoli and cream YUM!
    I love soup!
    I’m gonna add some pasta to my bowl
    and maybe use half bacon and maybe use half pepper jack cheese too
    Oh the possibilities are endless

  4. Since there are only the two of us, we eat dinner together EVERY night. Twenty years ago when we were a family of four, we still ate dinner together at least 5 nights a week. Time have changed, though.

  5. Challenge accepted! Cheese is included in many of our dinners and lunches as well. Happy family time to all this week!
