Jim's Cheese Soup Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by bubbles7380

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 quarts water
1/2 pound celery, finely diced, about 4 to 5 stalks
1 ounce onion, finely diced, about 1/4 cup
6 ounces carrots, shredded, about 2 to 3
2 ounces chicken base, low-salt preferred
2 sticks margarine or butter, melted
1 to 2 cups flour (see Note)
1 (16 ounce) jar Cheez Whiz
4 ounces grated cheese (2 ounces Swiss and 2 ounces Cheddar, or 4 ounces of either one)
3 cups milk or more, if necessary, to achieve proper consistency

Steps:

  • Pour water in large stockpot and bring to boil. Add celery, onion, carrots and chicken base and simmer about 30 minutes, or until celery is tender but firm. Meanwhile, in heavy skillet, melt butter or margarine over low heat; add flour and mix constantly with wire whisk until smooth and free of lumps. Cook this roux 8 to 10 minutes, still over low heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Reduce heat under soup to medium-low, add cooked roux to soup and continue to whisk until smooth and thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Cheese Whiz and grated cheese slowly and continue cooking until cheese is melted, whisking occasionally. Heat milk until warm in double boiler, or in microwave. Add to mixture slowly, whisking as necessary until smooth. Add milk until soup is desired consistency. (More milk may be needed after soup has been refrigerated.) Note: The original recipe called for 2 cups flour; in testing, we found 1 cup flour made the soup the thickness we preferred.

This soup is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and onion next time.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

I used a sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the soup a really rich flavor. I highly recommend using a good quality cheese.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out great!
