Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup from Le Cellier at #epcot #copycat 😋

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.

Cut turkey bacon into 0.5 inch pieces and cook until slightly brown, about 5 minutes.

Add 4 tablespoons of Country Crock plant-based butter to the bacon and let it melt.

Add 1 chopped red onion and 3 chopped celery stalks; cook until softened.

Stir in 1 cup of gluten-free flour and cook for 4 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly.

Add 3 cups of Members Mark chicken broth and whisk until thick; bring to a boil for 1 minute.

Reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes, adding an additional cup of chicken broth if too thick.

After simmering, add 4 cups of Planet Oat oat milk and simmer for another 15 minutes without boiling.

Stir in 1 pound of shredded yellow cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of Tabasco, 1 tablespoon of cocoa aminos, and season with black pepper and sea salt to taste.

Remove from heat and optionally blend with an immersion blender for a smoother texture.

Stir in 0.5 cup of chicken broth as a substitute for pale lager and add chives.
