Homemade condensed cheddar soup is supper easy to make and tastes so much better than the stuff in the can. You can enjoy this thick soup on its own or use it any recipe that calls for cream of soup.

Do canned soups make you raise your eyebrows a little?

I will use them gladly but when I have time, I love to make my own condensed soup.

Believe it or not, they are so easy to make with only a handful of ingredients

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

• Butter and flour– To make a roux to thicken the soup
• Salt
• Milk– Whole milk. Don’t substitute for a higher fat milk.
• Cheese– Shredded cheddar

How to Make

To make this easy homemade condensed cheddar soup, start by melting the butter in a sauce pan.

When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook until it bubbles and turns a golden, paste like consistency.

At this point, add the milk a little at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens about 5 minutes.

Once the milk is nice and thick, remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar until it’s melted though.

How to Use Homemade Condensed Cheddar Soup

You can use this in any recipe that calls for cream of anything soup.

We like to use it in:

• Copycat Rice A Roni

And it makes the base of a great basic mac and cheese.

Storing

Store this in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Tips and Tricks

• Whisk the flour and the butter together while it cooks and don’t stop whisking it. This will help prevent lumps.
• Make sure to whisk the milk in well and gradually. This also helps keep the soup smooth and creamy.
• Don’t use low fat milk. It won’t thicken as nicely.
