A delightful and creamy soup featuring cheddar cheese and fresh vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a smooth flavor.
Add the chopped celery, carrot, and onion to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Pour in the water and add the bouillon cubes, stirring until dissolved.
Ensure the bouillon cubes are fully dissolved for even seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
Covering the saucepan helps retain moisture and flavor.
Slowly stir in the milk and grated cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Add the cheese gradually to prevent clumping.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with additional grated cheese if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
