begins with cheese. Both <strong>hard and soft cheeses<\/strong> can be used to prepare cheese soups.

The anti-caking agents in packaged <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/auribella-cheese-vs-parmesan\/\">shredded cheese<\/a> can prevent proper melting. Grating it fresh allows the cheese to melt smoothly for a creamy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong> Both hard and <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/cream-cheese-vs-brie\/\">soft cheeses<\/a> can be used to make cheese soups. Grating them fresh makes for optimum smooth melting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_the_Base\"><\/span>Creating the Base<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The base of cheese soups begins with <strong>making a roux<\/strong> - cooked mixture of <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/butter-vs-cheese-vs-ghee\/\">butter<\/a> and flour. Onions, carrots and celery are saut\u00e9ed in butter first. Then flour is stirred in to make a roux. Chicken or vegetable broth and milk\/cream are whisked in to form the soup base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Milk, half and half, heavy\/light cream<\/strong> etc lend creaminess. Broths like chicken, vegetable or beef build savory flavor. Sometimes even beer, wine or cream based liqueurs are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roux-broth mixture then simply needs to be brought to a simmer before incorporating the cheese. This base lends body, texture and an incredible backdrop for the cheese to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_Cheese_and_Final_Touches\"><\/span>Adding Cheese and Final Touches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheese is added after the soup base has simmered for some time. The heat gently melts the cheese, which dissolves into silkiness. <strong>Pouring the hot soup over room temperature cheese allows it to melt gradually.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For convenience, most cheese soup recipes call for adding all the cheese at once. But in restaurants, it's often added a little at a time. This allows maximum control over texture and prevents clumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An immersion blender blitzes the soup beautifully smooth<\/strong>. Alternatively, working in small batches, an upright blender can be used to puree the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Final seasoning with salt, pepper and spices like cayenne, paprika or nutmeg polish off the flavors. Garnishes like fresh herbs, crispy bacon bits, pumpkin seeds, croutons or oyster crackers provide texture and pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Types_of_Cheese_Soups\"><\/span>Different Types of Cheese Soups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a wonderful variety when it comes to cheese soups!
