Cheese Soup Recipes

As much as we love to enjoy artisanal cheeses on their own merits, with no other flavors to compete with their naturally robust flavor profiles, it can also be quite fun to cook with farmhouse, high quality cheeses. If you think your Sheppard’s Pie recipe can’t be topped using mass produced cheddars, wait until you try it with a handmade aged English farmhouse produced by a cheesemaker that has his own small herd of 45 cows, all of which have names.

Classic Emmentaler Fondue

1 cup (2 sticks) butter

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1-1/2 cups flour

2 quarts beef broth, homemade, canned or made from bouillon

2 cups milk

1 cup beer, preferably flat (or substitute additional 1 cup broth)

In a stockpot, melt the butter. Sauté the onion and celery in the butter, until soft – not brown – about 5 minutes over moderate heat. Stir in the flour and heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes over medium low heat. The mixture will bubble as it cooks. Do not let the flour stick or turn brown. Slowly add the stock, a little at a time, stirring to smooth the mixture. Add the milk, stirring. Stir in beer, liquid smoke, hot red pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Bring just to a boil. Remove from heat, add the cheese and stir until melted. Return to heat (do not let the soup boil). Stir in the parsley. Heat a few minutes, just below boiling, to let the flavors blend. Taste for seasoning, adding more of the sauces if you wish. Serve immediately or keep warm over very low heat. Serves 10.

To make the cheese straws roll out the pastry to a large rectangle, about 10x8", scatter over one-third of the British Mature Cheddar on one half of the pastry and a little of the rosemary. Fold over then press lightly to seal, roll out and repeat the procedure twice, but on the final rolling form the pastry into a rectangle 7" wide and about 12" long. Cut into ½" strips, twist each a few times and place on 2 baking sheets, refrigerate. Heat the oven to 400° F. For the soup, melt the butter in a large pan, add vegetables, cover and cook gently for 10 minutes. Add stock and paprika, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Bake the cheese straws in the oven for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden. Puree the soup in a blender, return to the pan, season, then stir in 4 oz of the Mature Cheddar, reheat gently, but do not allow to boil. Ladle the soup into four bowls, garnish with the remaining cheese and chopped parsley, and then serve with cheese straws. Serves 4.
