CANADIAN CHEESE SOUP image

Fall and winter have always been "soup time" for me. That's when I drag out all the old recipes or try new ones. This one is new for me, but not a new dish by any means. It's another favorite from the L.S. Ayre's Tea Room (1905-1990). Recipe: L.S. Ayres Tea Room Recipes & Recollections Photo source: forkful.net

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 qt chicken stock
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 c carrots, diced small
8 oz old english cheese (comes in a jar)
1/2 c celery, diced small
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 qt milk
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c butter
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 c onions, minced
salt to taste
pinch paprika

Steps:

  • 1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt butter and saute onions lightly. Add flour and cornstarch. Then add milk and stock, making a smooth white sauce (stir constantly).
  • 2. Add soda, vegetables, seasonings and cheese. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and thoroughly blended in. Just before serving, add the chopped parsley. Serve hot with a crusty garlic bread.
  • 3. NOTE: You might want to steam or cook the carrots and celery till almost tender in a separate pan before adding to the soup.
