Cheese soup with chicken and melted cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook a delicious hearty cheese soup with chicken and melted cheese? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can replace the rice with vermicelli, noodles or other cereals, for example, millet or buckwheat. or you can add nothing at all. The selected cereal must be thoroughly rinsed until the water is clear.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil water in a saucepan, add washed chicken fillet, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, skimming off the foam, for 25 minutes. You can use the amount of water to your liking, depending on the desired thickness of the soup. But keep in mind that some of the water will boil away during cooking.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into medium cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the carrots and grate on a coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Determine the size of the onion according to your taste. I had half of a very large onion. If you or your children don't like onions, you can omit them from the soup at all, or add a whole onion during the cooking stage of the chicken and then discard it.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut processed cheese into small cubes. I have Yantar processed cheese. I took one regular, and the second with greens. You can replace it with softer processed cheese in plastic boxes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the greens, dry and finely chop. Choose any greens: dill, parsley, green onions or cilantro. You can take a mixture of different greens. The soup will benefit from this.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the finished chicken fillet from the broth and cut into small pieces.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place potatoes and selected grains (I used rice) into the broth and cook for about 15 minutes until tender.

10. STEP 10

    

    Meanwhile, prepare the roast. Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and fry, stirring, until translucent.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then add the grated carrots and fry everything together for another 4-5 minutes until the carrots are soft.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add chopped chicken fillet, fried carrots and onions and melted cheese to the soup. Boil everything together, stirring, for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.

13. STEP 13

    

    At the very end, remove the bay leaf, add salt and pepper to the soup to taste. Add chopped herbs and stir.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and let the soup brew for 10 minutes. Bon appetit!

I consulted with my family about what soup to prepare for tomorrow, everyone asked for chicken with melted cheese. I opened the feed and immediately found the recipe I needed, mysticism) I made the broth not from fillet, but from the backbone and bones from the breast. It turned out to be quite fatty and rich) I also fried it, so the broth becomes golden, which is important for chicken soup. I only chopped the onion finely so that it wouldn’t stand out too much (my daughter doesn’t like it). Butter gives an additional pleasant creamy taste. My husband bought some hard cheeses, they would go well on a salad, but they don’t dissolve well in soup. So I chopped them finely, poured the broth from the pan and beat them with an immersion blender until the mass became homogeneous. I didn’t add any grains, the soup turned out satisfying as is. And it is also beautiful, golden, tender and very, very tasty. Maria, thank you very much for the recipe!

I made cheese soup with chicken and melted cheese. I cooked a small portion (special order from my grandson)))). For the broth, instead of a breast, I used a chicken leg, the skin was first removed. The soup turned out very tasty, golden, with a pleasant creamy flavor. Simple, fast, satisfying and delicious! Thanks for the recipe, Maria!
