# Cheddar Cheese Soup Recipe

This is from Nita Mehta's Soups, Salads and Starters. I was slightly skeptical when I read the name of the soup but since I had some cheddar cheese lying around and really wanted to use it up. The soup was a pleasant surprise, not as heavy as I expected but quite filling and creamy.

> *
> **What I Used:**
> 2 onions, chopped3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped25gm (1 cube Amul cheese) cheddar cheese, grated2 tbsp butter1 cup milk (I used low fat 'cuz that's all I had)5 cups water1/2 cup sour cream (I didn't use this)1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper1 tsp salt
> ***To Garnish:***
> Croutons25gm (1 cube Amul cheese) cheddar cheese, gratedFresh coriander leaves (optional)
> **How I Made It:**
> 1. In a pressure cooker pan, add the butter and brown the onions lightly.
> 2. Add potatoes and saute for 1-2 mins. Then add the water and pressure cook for 3-4 whistles. Remove from fire.
> 3. When cooled, blend the pressure cooked onions and potatoes in a mixer to a puree, along with the water used for cooking them.
> 4. Strain the puree (I didn't do this) and set aside.
> 5. Boil the milk separately. Bring the strained pureed soup separately to boil and add the milk, stirring continuously. Simmer for 2-3 mins on low flame.
> 6. Add grated cheese, salt and pepper.
> 7. Finally add the sour cream, if using, keeping the soup on very low flame and stirring continuously. Remove from fire.
> 8. To serve, grate top off with some grated cheese and toasted croutons with coriander leaves if using. Serve hot.
