  • Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

Notes

Sharp cheddar cheese gives the soup the best flavor.Frozen diced potatoes or hash browns can be used for convenience.Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy version.Diced pickles make a fun cheeseburger-inspired topping.If the soup thickens too much after storage, stir in extra broth or milk while reheating.
