Disney’s Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup Recipe from ale Cellier Steakhouse at Epcot

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

sharp cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: medium cheddar cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Medium cheddar is lower in fat, while processed cheese is often cheaper and melts well.

Add the chopped bacon pieces to a large stock pot and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped onion, celery, and butter; cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and continue stirring over medium heat for another 3 to 4 minutes.

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a boil.

Lower the heat and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes.

Add the milk and continue to simmer without letting it come to a boil for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the soup from the heat and add the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, sharp white cheddar cheese, and beer if desired; stir until the cheese is melted.

If you want a smoother soup, use an immersion blender at this point.

Mix in your desired amount of salt and pepper and serve the soup hot garnished with chopped green onions.
