If you’ve read the name of this soup, and are still reading, then it’s obvious that you’re more concerned about your taste buds than you are about your weight. This being the case, read on.

This is a rich creamy soup that produces an aroma in your kitchen that will make you gain weight just by smelling it. Nonetheless, it’s an experience you owe yourself.

I got this recipe from a cookbook a friend gave me some years back. I tried it and although I liked the soup, I felt it could be better.
With a few alterations in the basic recipe, I had a dish that not only satisfied everyone I served it to, but probably helped kill off a few.

½ cup of butter 1 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
1 medium onion chopped Bread of your choice, pumpernickel is good.
¼ cup flour
3 cups chicken broth (I always put 3 bullion cubes in a cup of boiling water until melted and then add 2 more cups of water.)
2 1/2 cups milk
½ cup whipping cream

Sauté your onions in butter in a 3-quart sauce pan until tender.
Stir in flour until mixed well with onion. Add chicken broth; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened. Add milk and stirring constantly, heat just to boiling.

The next part is kind of a pain because you have to run all of this through a blender. Since you can’t get all of this in a blender, you have to break it down to about a quarter of the mixture at a time.

After blending, return all of it back to the saucepan and return it back to a boil. Then whisk in the cheese. Stir it until the cheese is melted and serve it.

Bear in mind that this recipe prior to my alterations was about 600 calories per serving.
