MACARONI 'N' CHEESE SOUP



Macaroni 'n' Cheese Soup image

I have not tried this soup. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home Quick Cooking 2005. Chuck full of tender chicken chunks, pasta and three different kinds of vegetables. No one will suspect that the sensational soup relies on leftover macaroni and cheese or that recipe takes only a half hour to prepare.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give the soup a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. You can use a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, or Gruyère cheese to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Make sure the roux is cooked thoroughly. This will help to thicken the soup and prevent it from being grainy.
  • Add the milk and broth slowly, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the soup from curdling.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover macaroni and cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a pot of mac and cheese soup that your whole family will love.
