Cheese soup is a rich, comforting dish that blends melted cheese with a creamy base, often made from milk or broth. Common ingredients include cheddar or other aged cheeses, onions, garlic, and a hint of seasoning like paprika or pepper. Some recipes incorporate vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower for extra nutrition and texture. Originating from European cuisines, particularly German and Swiss traditions, cheese soup is a popular cold-weather staple for its hearty, warming qualities. While it offers protein and calcium from the cheese and milk, its high fat content and sodium levels may be a concern, especially in processed versions. Pairing it with whole-grain bread or fresh vegetables can create a more balanced meal. This indulgent classic is best enjoyed in moderation and can be made lighter by using reduced-fat cheese or milk alternatives.
