For an extra smooth soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture. Use high-quality sharp Cheddar cheese for the best flavor. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shred your own cheese for optimal results. Garnish with extra shredded cheese, croutons, or a swirl of cream for an elegant presentation.
