Canadian Cheese Soup is incredibly versatile. It can be served as a starter, a light lunch with crusty bread, or even as a comforting dinner alongside a simple salad. Some families add vegetables like carrots or celery for extra body, while others keep it purely cheese-forward. It’s also a wonderful way to use quality local cheese and turn a few pantry staples into something special. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with toasted bread for dipping, this soup delivers warmth, comfort, and that unmistakable homemade feel that makes it a beloved classic.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups whole milk
2½ cups sharp Canadian cheddar cheese, shredded
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the broth, stirring until smooth, then add the milk. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the soup thickens slightly. Add the shredded cheese a handful at a time, stirring until fully melted before adding more. Stir in the dry mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently for a few minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread.
