For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp and mild Cheddar cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to each bowl for extra creaminess. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives for a fresh flavor. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese.
