Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make creamy cheese soup? Gather your ingredients. You can use any processed cheese, preferably without add-ins — but one with herbs works too. Wash the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2:

Peel the potatoes, carrot, and onion. Cut the potatoes and carrot into cubes. Leave the onion whole. Cut the celery stalk into pieces.
Step 3:

Put the potatoes, carrot, celery stalk, and the whole onion in a soup pot. Pour in a liter of water. Set the pot over the heat, bring the water to a boil, and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are done, about 30 minutes. At the end of cooking, take out the onion and discard it.
Step 4:

Strain the vegetables through a sieve and return them to the pot.
Step 5:

Pour the vegetable broth into a saucepan.
Step 6:

Purée the vegetables left in the pot with an immersion blender until smooth and uniform. Blend for a good while.
Step 7:

Add the processed cheese to the soup and blend everything again.
Step 8:

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot until you reach the consistency you want. I added about 1 cup of broth for a medium-thick consistency. Blend everything again. Return the pot to the heat and warm the soup, stirring, for another 2 minutes.
Step 9:

Cover the cream soup and let it rest for about 7 minutes. Then ladle it into bowls. Enjoy!

Instead of soft processed cheese, you can use firm processed cheese. You can also add regular hard cheese to the soup — and the cheese's flavor will define the overall taste of the soup. Creamy cheese soup is a traditional European dish that's riding a wave of popularity again. That's down to its nutritional value, unbeatable taste, silky texture, and, above all, how easy it is to make. You can serve it at a family meal or even a holiday table: its tempting aroma and rich cheesy flavor will win everyone over. Creamy cheese soup might just become your signature dish. For a more filling version, you can add boiled chicken to the soup and blend everything until smooth.
You can reduce or increase the amount of water given in the recipe as you wish, depending on whether you want a thicker or thinner soup.
