I saw this on an old episode of Paula Deen's show yesterday. I made it today. It's amazingly good and SOOO simple. Maybe 15 minutes from start to eating! I changed a few things for my version.
Cheddar Cheese Soup
The bottom 3 inches of five green onions, chopped
2 ounce jar of pimentos
3 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock (Kitchen Basics brand preferably, or homemade)
2 cups half & half
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 ounce jar of pimentos
3 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock (Kitchen Basics brand preferably, or homemade)
2 cups half & half
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 cup green onions tops, chopped for garnish
In a large saucepan, saute onion and pimento in butter for 5 to 7 minutes. Blend in flour, then cook over medium low heat for about three minutes, until the flour just begins to brown and emit a nutty aroma. Add stock, then half & half. Cook over medium heat until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly. Add cheese and stir until melted, then remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, and cayenne if desired. Garnish with remaining green onions.
Serve with a warm, crusty bread.
