Why cheese? Because you are probably already familiar with the more complex ones, but these, in addition to simplicity, are united by an original taste, a delicate, very refined texture, and also great benefits. Let's get started?

What kind of cheese is suitable for soup?

If you choose cheese for sandwiches, hard cheese will undoubtedly win, but melted cheese is better for soup.

We don't want any chunks floating in the broth.

The goal is to achieve a uniform consistency.

No, durum varieties are also often used for preparing first courses.

But then it will be soup with cheese, not cheese soup. These are often found in Mediterranean cuisine. For example, Italians put a layer of cheese on a plate and pour hot broth over it. Also, ready-made soup can be sprinkled with grated cheese before serving. This is all very tasty, but just a little out of the category that this article is devoted to.

Processed cheese differs from hard cheese not only in consistency, but also in price. Just be careful not to choose a cheese product instead of cheese. These are two huge differences.

Processed cheeses are made from dairy products, while the cheese product is made from vegetable fats and proteins.

How to choose processed cheese

When choosing processed cheese in a store, pay attention to the following factors:

  • price. It is significantly cheaper than hard, but do not rush to take the cheapest offer from the counter. Although it’s also not worth overpaying. Today there are many types of cheese with various additives, they are much more expensive;
  • compound. Carefully study the information on the packaging. Very often, on the front side it is indicated that the cheese is processed, and on the back side, in small, small print, the cheese product is written. Again, if everything is done according to the rules, there is no point in hiding the products used for manufacturing, and the minimum of data raises doubts about the quality. Data about the manufacturer itself can also say a lot. If there is only an email address on the package, think about it;
  • package. It must not be damaged or wrinkled. This may indicate a violation of storage rules, which means it may cause damage to the product;
  • color. It should be uniform and gently creamy. Deep yellow may indicate the use of dyes and preservatives;
  • surface. It should be even and smooth and not crumble when cut;
  • taste. If processed cheese is made without the use of additional additives, its taste is creamy, soft, and delicate. There should be no bitterness or sourness.

Cheese soup can be made from almost any product.

Just open the refrigerator, look through the shelves with vegetables and go!

The main thing is that there is cheese!

We have already told you how to choose a quality product, but there are still some recommendations that you should take note of.

First of all, don't cook in reserve. This is not borscht that you can eat for several days. Cheese soup should be eaten immediately. By the way, all the recipes that we brought to your attention are also designed for small quantities.

Try to take less water. The secret to the popularity of such first courses is not only in taste, but also in consistency. Most of them are thick.

Before making cream cheese soup, decide whether you will grind it before serving. It is important. The puree-like mass turns out to be very tender, but if you are preparing a soup, for example, with champignons, shrimp, etc., you do not need to chop them. This is much more original, but the appearance of the dish also means a lot.

There is no need to serve the first one immediately after cooking. It is advisable to let it sit for a while so that all the ingredients become saturated with each other’s scent and acquire common flavor notes.

You can improve the taste with cream or butter. They can be added directly when serving, or at the very end of cooking.

Hard cheese can also be used for such soups. Try putting a small piece into ready-made hot soup, divided into bowls. It will melt and turn into a small “island”. This will add additional piquancy to the finished dish.

Also, don't use too many spices. Remember, their task is to emphasize the taste of the finished dish, and not to completely change it.

Cheese soups are an excellent option for the daily menu. They are prepared quickly, you don’t need to buy special ingredients, they turn out very tasty and always very elegant. Bon appetit, cook with love!

Here's another recipe. Take note!

Ingredients:

  • Chicken meat (thigh) - 2 pcs.
  • Processed cheese - 2 pcs.
  • Medium potatoes - 2 pcs.
  • Small carrots and onions - 1 pc.
  • Spices and herbs
  • Frying oil

Fortunately, gone are the days when processed cheese was bought only by a certain group of people as a snack. From such a seemingly unremarkable product, you can prepare a real culinary masterpiece.

We offer three of the most common recipes for processed cheese soups. In order to cook these soups you will not need a lot of time and large financial expenses, but the taste of cheese soups will be simply incomparable. Let's not waste time. We put on our aprons and get started.

Step-by-step preparation of soup

  1. Just like when cooking regular soup, first cook the broth. When the meat boils, you can add sprigs of your favorite herbs, and when the meat is cooked, remove it.
  2. We fry according to the classic recipe - finely chop the vegetables and fry in vegetable oil.
  3. Cut the potatoes into strips or cubes.
  4. If you don't like bones in your soup, remove the cooked meat and separate it from the bone.
  5. Send the pulp back into the broth, followed by the potatoes and frying.
  6. You don’t have to go near the soup for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grate the cheese or chop it very finely (this will help it melt faster).
  7. Place the prepared cheese in a saucepan, add salt and spices to taste.
  8. Further as desired. Place the greens directly into the pan and boil so that the processed cheese soup does not turn sour, or place portions into plates.

If you are afraid that you will not be able to mix the cheese well when adding it to the soup, use a little advice. Place it in a separate bowl and pour boiling water over it. It will be more convenient to stir the cheese until smooth in a small bowl. And then, as per the recipe, pour the cheese mixture into the broth instead of grated cheese.

The next processed cheese soup will be with mushrooms.

  • Fresh mushrooms (at your discretion) - 350 gr. dried - 50 gr.
  • Potatoes - 2 pcs.
  • Processed cheese (cheese mass) - 2 pcs. (200 gr.)
  • Carrot
  • Herbs, spices

Cooking steps:

  1. For this soup we will use mushroom broth. If you bought fresh mushrooms, rinse and peel them thoroughly. Cut into pieces and cook for 40 minutes. Pre-soak dried mushrooms and rinse them with special care so that later the sand in the soup does not squeak on your teeth.
  2. We do the same with vegetables as in the previous recipe. We cut the potatoes, and from the onions and carrots we make a frying dish, to which, if desired, you can add special spices for soup with mushrooms.
  3. But while we were preparing the vegetables, the mushrooms were practically cooked. Place the potatoes and the roast into the broth and let them cook together for a little while.
  4. Using a well-known technology, we throw in cheese.
  5. Add salt, chop the greens. The soup is ready, you can invite everyone to the table.

This recipe can be slightly modified. Make the main broth with meat, and fry the mushrooms with carrots and onions. It is better to use butter, so the frying will be more aromatic.

Cheese soup with rice and croutons

  • Rice - 100 gr.
  • Medium-sized carrots and onions - 1 pc.
  • Potatoes - 2-3 pcs.
  • Processed cheese - 200 gr.
  • Bell pepper - 1 pc.
  • Salt, spices, herbs.

Cheese soups can (and maybe even should) be prepared in the form of puree soup. For some reason they turn out much tastier and even look more beautiful in the photo.

  1. It is better to prepare the crackers for this recipe in advance so that you don’t have to worry about them later, as you will need to make sure they don’t burn. Slice the bread (white or black does not matter) and dry it in the oven at minimum temperature.
  2. Make a fry. When the onion becomes transparent, you can add a pinch of your favorite spices.
  3. Boil the water. Well-washed rice and frying are sent to cook.
  4. After 3-4 minutes, after the rice boils, throw in the potatoes.
  5. Prepare the cheese. If it's processed cheese, cut it into pieces. You can simply add the cheese mixture with a teaspoon; it will boil quickly enough.
  6. If the rice is almost cooked, add cheese, herbs and check for salt.
  7. Once all the ingredients are cooked, you can turn an ordinary dish into an extravagant creamy soup.

If possible, buy homemade chicken for processed cheese soup. The broth from it turns out much tastier and more aromatic, although the calorie content of the cheese soup will increase slightly, but we don’t cook it so often to save on taste.

For the broth, you can use both dry spices and fresh herbs. To do this, make a small whisk of your favorite herbs and throw it in with the meat. When the meat is ready, remove them from the broth.

Many people like the creamy taste of the soup. You can add it to your dish using such a simple product as processed cheese. Despite its low cost, it must be used correctly when preparing first courses. Thanks to this article, you will turn ordinary soup into a culinary masterpiece.

The main thing is to choose the right processed cheese. The packaging should state that this is processed cheese and not a cheese product. Cheap processed cheeses will not dissolve in the soup; they will only spoil the soup. We will cook our soup in water, but if you wish, you can cook it.

- potatoes – 4-5 pieces;
- carrots – 1 piece;

Next, let's start cooking. Heat a frying pan in olive or refined sunflower oil and fry the carrots and onions over low heat. This should not be done for long, about one or two minutes.





Place a pan of water on the fire and wait for it to boil. After this, pour the potatoes into boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes. Use a knife to check if the potatoes are ready. We stick a knife into the cube, and if it moves in and out freely, it means the potatoes are cooked. When we are convinced of this, pour the onions and carrots into the pan. About five minutes before the dish is ready, add the processed cheese to the soup. At the same time, we stir it intensively so that they completely dissolve and we do not come across melted lumps. At the end, to add flavor to the soup, add spices, black peppercorns and bay leaves. On a cutting board, finely chop the greens. This could be parsley, dill, cilantro, etc. Pour finely chopped greens into the pan, then add salt to our soup. The amount of salt should be taken at your discretion. After this, mix the liquid thoroughly, and the processed cheese soup is ready!





In addition to the above mentioned products, you can add finely grated cucumber and oatmeal to it. To do this, fry the sour cucumber in butter and add to the soup. Or you can give it a unique flavor by adding sautéed mushrooms and some pasta, such as noodles. Instead of water, you can take chicken broth and add rice to the soup. Either way, this recipe is very versatile and varied, so it's very difficult to mess up.

Recipe 6. Cheese soup from processed cheese with broccoli

Ingredients

    a glass of grated hard cheese;

    a third of a glass of flour;

    a glass of grated Cheddar cheese;

    800 ml chicken broth;

    350 g broccoli;

    20 g butter;

    three pods of red bell pepper;

    ground cumin;

    280 g potatoes;

    three pods of chili pepper;

    two large onions;

    smoked ham;

    a glass of low-fat cream.

1. Separate broccoli into inflorescences. We remove the bell pepper from the stalk and clean out the seeds. Cut the vegetable into small cubes. Wash the peeled potatoes and cut them into small random pieces. Chop the seeded chili pepper as finely as possible. Peel the onion and garlic and chop into small pieces.

2. Melt the butter in a cauldron. Place all the vegetables except the potatoes in a cauldron and simmer, stirring, for about five minutes. The vegetables should become soft.

3. Place the potatoes in the cauldron, season everything with cumin and fry for another five minutes. Then fill the contents of the cauldron with meat broth. As soon as the soup boils, cover with a lid, turn off the heat and cook for about half an hour.

4. In a separate deep bowl, combine flour with milk and cream. Beat thoroughly with a whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into the cauldron in a thin stream, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Reduce the heat to minimum. Add all the cheese to the soup and cook for another five minutes.

5. Place the broccoli in the microwave for three minutes until the cabbage becomes soft. Add it to the soup. Simmer for a couple more minutes and remove from heat. Pour into plates. Place ham cut into strips in each.

    To make the soup with a pronounced cheese taste, add the product at the rate of 100 g per liter of liquid.

    It will be more convenient to add cheese to the soup if you first cut it into pieces, dissolve it in the broth, and only then add it to the soup.

    The dish will turn out tastier if you put several types of cheese in it at once.

    Serve cheese soup with croutons or rye croutons.
