Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced (approximately 1 cup)
3 Tablespoons flour
2 cups milk (any %)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 package (10 ounces) Extra Sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded

Steps:

  • In a large pot saute butter and onion together until onion is soft and translucent. Add flour and stir until all flour is absorbed by butter. Slowly add milk 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Mixture will first get VERY thick then thin out during this process. DO NOT ADD ALL THE MILK AT ONCE! Once all milk has been added, add mustard, salt, thyme, pepper and chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Top with additional cheese, paprika or green onions.

Tips:

  • Don't be afraid to caramelize the onions: Caramelizing the onions will bring out their natural sweetness and add a rich, golden color to the soup. Be patient and cook the onions over low heat until they are very soft and brown.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this soup, so it's worth splurging on a good quality cheddar. Look for a cheese that is sharp and flavorful.
  • Add some extra flavorings: If you want to add some extra flavor to the soup, try adding a bay leaf, a teaspoon of dried thyme, or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh parsley, chives, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
