Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cream cheese to the pot and whisk continuously until it has melted and is fully incorporated.
Gradually add the grated cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, whisking constantly to ensure the cheese melts smoothly.
Stir in the paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Let the soup simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy.
Remove the pot from heat and ladle the soup into bowls.
Garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve immediately.
