Paula Deen’s Creamy Cheddar Soup

by Ashtyn Evans

I made this last night for Dominick and myself to try. Dom loves soup, but isn’t overly fond of uncooked onions or cheddar. I, on the other hand, am addicted to cheese with cheddar one of my favorite kinds. Oddly enough, I have never had cheddar soup and Dominick is a lover of cheesy Walkabout Soup from Outback. Not knowing how similar this soup would be to the Walkabout Soup, but knowing he wanted some kind of soup for supper, I decided to give this a try.

All I can say is Wow! Dom went crazy for the soup. He tried a small bowl and wanted seconds. I was told “This is so good, Ash! It tastes like Walkabout Soup, only better!”

I must say that the flavors meld together perfectly creating a delicious, creamy soup. The onions flavor the soup, though they do not have a lot of bite to them, so if you don’t like that strong onion taste, you might like this. It still had the onion flavor though it tasted almost caramelized.

The only thing I forgot to add was the green onions, but even without them it was still really good. I could have sworn that Paula had a picture for this recipe, so I didn’t take one. You can be sure I’ll be making more again though, so I promise to get a picture up as soon as I do.

The Recipe:

1 small onion, diced
2 large pimentos, diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups cream
3/4 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup green onions
Salt and black pepper
Dash cayenne pepper, optional

Suggested Serving: your favorite bread or croutons

In a saucepan sauté onion and pimentos in butter for 5 to 7 minutes. Blend in flour. Add stock and cream. Cook until thick. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add 1/4 cup green onions, salt and pepper, to taste, and cayenne if desired. Garnish with remaining green onions.
