cheese often contains anti-caking ingredients that can affect how smoothly it melts.
Keep the heat gentle
High heat can cause dairy-based soups to separate or become grainy.
Low and slow is your friend once the cheese goes in.
Don’t boil after adding the cheese
A gentle temperature keeps the soup creamy and smooth.
Dice the vegetables small
Small pieces cook evenly and make the soup much more pleasant to eat.
Taste before adding salt
Bacon, cheddar, broth, and Worcestershire sauce can all contribute salt.
Always taste first.
Make it thicker or thinner
If the soup is too thick, add a little broth or milk.
If it’s too thin, allow it to simmer gently for a few additional minutes.
