  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls, top with extra cheese if desired, and enjoy!
  7. Swap cheddar with mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss for different flavors.
  8. Add carrots, celery, or peas for extra veggies.
  9. Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
  10. For a lighter soup, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
