Recipe Tips
- If you prefer, you can leave the cornstarch out of the recipe. However, the soup will be very runny and may not be as enjoyable.
- Seasoning can make or break a dish, but this is particularly true with soup. If you are finding it a bit tasteless, try adding a bit more salt. However, be careful not to add too much as a salty soup is not a good experience.
- You can swap the cheddar cheese for something else, such as mozzarella. There is a ton of different varieties of cheese that you can try out. Each will offer a different flavor that will completely change the dish.
- If you like a smooth soup, then you can try blending it. Keep in mind this will change the texture and flavor but certainly a must for anyone who does not like chunky soups.
- To ensure that this soup is gluten-free, make sure you use gluten-free cornstarch.
