- Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Make sure the roux is cooked until it is a light golden brown. This will help to thicken the soup and prevent it from curdling.
- Slowly whisk in the milk to the roux. This will help to prevent the roux from clumping.

- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
- Garnish the soup with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped parsley.
