fuzzy656 Recipe + Yummy Cheese Soup

This is a very smooth and pleasing cheese soup. It is made with American cheese instead of Cheddar, and my children love it! It also makes a great base for broccoli-cheese soup, if you are so inclined.

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
• ½ cup finely grated carrot
• ¼ cup finely chopped celery
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• 1 ¾ cups milk
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded American cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Stir chicken broth, carrot, celery, and onion together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Whisk milk, flour, and pepper together in a small bowl; stream into the broth mixture while stirring. Cook until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir American cheese into the liquid; cook and stir until melted smoothly into the mixture, 2 to 3 minutes.
