Hi Folks, here is a requested recipe for Hudson's Cheese Soup 4 T. butter, 1 T. finely diced yellow onion, 1/2 c. very finely diced celery, 1/2 c. very finely dicked carrot, 1/2 c all purpose flour, 1 T corn starch 1/8 t. paprika, 1/8 t. baking soda, 3 c whole milk, 3 c. chicken broth, 2 lbs. aged sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, 2 drops of Angostura aromatic Bitters, salt and pepper to taste and fresh minced parsley for garnish. Melt the butter in a large soucepan; add onion, celery and carrot. Cook gently stirring often (about 10 minutes)until vegetables soften. In a small dish, mix flour, corn starch, paprika and baking soda together. Add to vegetables and cook stirring constantly for 1 minute. Slowly add milk and broth and whisk til smooth. Heat to a simmer; cover and cook gently stirring often (about ten minutes)til carrots are tender. Remove from heat; add cheese SLOWLY and stir til smooth. Add bitters, salt and pepper to taste and stir till incorporated. Serve hot with a sprinkle of parsley I have seen another recipe that called for 1 1/2 cups of onions, 1 cup each of celery and carrots. Also they added the bitters to each bowl.

ps to Hudson's Cheese Soup recipe You may use a cusinart or a liquid blender to make a smoother consistency once the veggies have been added to the liquid.
