Oh my gosh, its been forever since I have posted anything on here. I really haven't forgotten about this blog...I just have been so busy at work that I don't have time to write anything up. Then when I get home I have become pretty lazy lately!
So I thought it was time for me to start posting more as I usually do.
Here is a great soup that I made not too long ago which had such a great apple and cheddar cheese flavor. My husband ate this soup up so quickly!
Cheddar Soup with Granny Smith Apples
From Cosco Favorite Recipes 2007
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 larger onion, diced
1/3 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp dry mustard
4 cups chicken broth
2 Granny Smith apples
1 cup apple cider or apple juice
10 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 3 cups)
Hot pepper sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until tender and aromatic, 5-7 minutes.
2. Sprinkle flour and dry mustard over onion and stire to evenly coat. Continue cooking, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add broth, stirring until well blended
4. Peel, quarter and core 1 of the apple and finely chop it. Add apple to the soup, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the soup is thickened and the apple is tender, about 10 minutes.
5. Stire in cider and grated cheese and cook a few minutes longer, sitrring constanly, until the cheese is fully melted.
6. Puree the soup in a blender. Stire in a few drops of hot pepper sauce and salt and pepper to taste
7. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls, sprinkle with diced apple and serve immediately. Makes 4-6 servings.

You can't go wrong with apple and cheddar. This looks really good, something I am going to try.
By the way real Cheddar is never "soapy", in texture or mouthfeel, and tends to be more brittle than other types of cheeses.
