Canadian Cheddar Soup
This Canadian Cheddar soup, topped with crisp-fried bacon bits, is comforting and hearty. It will remind you of a pub-style soup, minus the lager.
Ingredients
Method
- Cook bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon fat in the pan.

- Add butter to the pan. Sauté shallot and celery until very soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

- Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in broth, then milk. Bring just to a gentle simmer (be careful not to boil).

- Reduce heat to low. Add cheese in small handfuls, stirring until melted and smooth.

- Stir in Worcestershire, hot sauce, and mustard. Season with pepper. Serve topped with reserved bacon.
