For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp and mild cheddar cheese.
If you don't have white pepper, you can use a pinch of nutmeg instead.
To make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

    I used pre-shredded cheese and it didn't melt as smoothly. Next time, I'll shred it myself.

  • Tyrel Hackett

    This soup is a lifesaver! My kids actually eat their broccoli now.
