Canadian Cheese Soup from Hudson's image

This is an old recipe from J. L. Hudson's Department Store in Detroit, which was opened in 1911. In 1963 they closed the shop because the downtown area had become less than safe and they simply could not attract customers.

This soup is also great for freezing. I like to make a big batch and then freeze it in individual containers. That way, I always have a delicious meal on hand when I'm short on time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have overcooked it.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some milk to thin it out, and it was perfect.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This soup is a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try making it with low-fat cheese next time.
