Canadian Cheese Soup

Canadian Cheese Soup is a super creamy cheddar cheese soup that is easy to prepare and makes a satisfying lunch or dinner in the cold winter months.

During the deep, dark days of winter, nothing says “comfort” like a bowl of hot Canadian Cheese Soup. A few simple ingredients make a sumptuous soup. Be sure to use a high-quality cheese; it’s crucial to the dish’s flavor. This soup is decadent and delicious, even better served with crispy garlic cheese toasts!
