Canadian Cheese Soup from Hudson's image

This is an old recipe from J. L. Hudson's Department Store in Detroit, which was opened in 1911. In 1963 they closed the shop because the downtown area had become less than safe and they simply could not attract customers.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would add more milk next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the roux.

This soup is so versatile. You can add different toppings, such as bacon, croutons, or green onions, to change up the flavor.

I'm not a big fan of cheese soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the addition of bacon and green onions gives it a nice savory touch.
