Serve hot, garnished with extra shredded cheese or a swirl of cream, if desired.
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp and mild cheddar cheese.
If you don't have white pepper, you can use a pinch of nutmeg instead.
To make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat.

Aug 5, 2022I used pre-shredded cheese and it didn't melt as smoothly. Next time, I'll shred it myself.
