5 dl grated cheese good
Salt
Pepper
Neutral oil
Suggestion
You can if desired add peas and other spices
Directions: Cheese Soup
- Start by cooking the macaroni as directed on package. Boil them slightly shorter than directed so that they are al dente, meaning that they have some chew resistance. Put the cooked macaroni in a small bowl, and pour over some neutral oil. Mix well so they does not stick together.
- Use an appropriate large soup casserole. Add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Then add the flour and mustard. Whisk until you get a smooth batter.
- Pour in small amount at a time with chicken broth; while constantly whisking to avoid lumps. Finally add the single cream. Turn up the heat slightly, and stir constantly until the soup begins to boil.
- Decrease heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese dissolves.
- Pour in the macaroni and ham or chicken.
- Reheat the soup until it is sufficiently hot, but not boiling.
- Season with salt and pepper.
