Step-by-Step Method

6-step method
01

Soften the onions

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large pot. Add the sliced onions and cook over medium-low heat, stirring now and then, until soft (about 15–20 minutes).

02

Build the broth base

Pour in the chicken broth and add the bouillon cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 35–40 minutes.

03

Make the white sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 3 tbsp butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Whisk in the milk a little at a time until smooth; add salt and cook until lightly thickened.

04

Melt in the cheese

Add the melting cheese pieces to the soup and stir until fully melted.

05

Thicken the soup

Stir in the white sauce, starting with 1 1/2 cups. If you want it a bit thicker, add more until you reach about 1 3/4 cups.

06

Finish and serve

Warm the soup for 2–3 more minutes without boiling hard, then check the consistency. Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar if you like; serve hot.
