Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups Fat-free chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a medium-sized pot with non-stick cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of the fat-free milk to form a smooth paste. Set aside.
In the pot, pour the fat-free chicken broth and the remaining fat-free milk. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Once the liquid is heated, whisk in the flour paste to thicken the soup. Keep whisking to avoid lumps, and simmer for about 5 minutes until the soup begins to thicken.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt to the pot. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Gradually sprinkle in the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly to melt. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
Continue to cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serve hot in bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or a few shreds of cheese if desired.
