Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided
3 small leeks, light green and white part only, cleaned and finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 medium celery ribs, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup light cream
1/2 lb vermont sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste
3 apples, peeled, cored and finely diced

Steps:

  • Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrot and celery and sauté until tender or about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 3 minutes, making sure to cook the flour evenly.
  • Add the chicken stock slowly, whisking to evenly combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Puree the soup in a blender, food processor or with a handheld mixer. Strain into a clean saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the half-and-half, cheese, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Keep warm.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet. Saute the apple pieces until they start to turn golden brown and soft, about 3 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a large tablespoon of the sauteed apple mixture.

I love spicy food so I added a few jalapenos to this recipe. It gave the soup a nice kick and really took it to the next level.

I made a few healthy substitutions to this recipe and it turned out great! I used low-fat milk and cheese, and I added some chopped vegetables for extra nutrition.

Born and raised in Vermont, I've had my share of cheddar soup. This recipe is the closest I've come to my grandmother's soup. It's creamy, cheesy, and oh so comforting.
