French Cheese Soup with Mushrooms

A recipe for a silky soup to make for the people you love most! Simple, quick, and made with heart! Ready in 30 minutes. Everyone in our family is absolutely wild about cheese soups. I'd wager that even our dogs rate this dish higher than meatballs. Cheese soup isn't just about incredible flavor — it's the intoxicating aroma that fills every corner of the house and even wafts out through the cracks into the hallway. So even the neighbors, running into my husband on the landing, give him a knowing wink: "Cheese soup again today, huh?" Cheese soup with mushrooms is one of the simplest, fastest soups I've ever made. What sets this recipe apart from many others is the processed cheese, which is stirred into the broth at the very end.

Start with the mushrooms. Put a pot of water (2.5–3 quarts / liters) on the stove and cut the mushrooms into small pieces. Drop the mushrooms into the boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes. While they cook, cut the processed cheese into small pieces, and once the mushrooms' 15 minutes are up, add the cheese to the broth. Stir gently until the cheese fully dissolves into the simmering water — the broth should take on a lovely milky-beige color. Then slice the onion into half-rings and add it to the broth as well. Cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, or any seasoning you like — for example, basil (which should always go in at the very end). By the way, for cheese soup I always make the croutons myself, or I buy the plainest store-bought ones, with no added flavorings or artificial tastes.
