In our previous version, cheddar was the star. But this time, we sought an impeccably smooth, seamless base, leading us to opt for the somewhat debated, Velveeta cheese. Its inclusion promises a broth that’s undeniably smooth and devoid of stringy cheese bits or segregating milk fats. If Velveeta isn’t your favorite, by all means, choose a cheese that makes your heart sing - though we whisper the secret: Velveeta does spellbinding wonders for the soup's consistency.
Achieving Thickness with a Roux
Alongside Velveeta, a crafted roux introduces the desired thickness that elevates this soup from delightful to divine. This meld of butter, flour, and milk is introduced towards the end, and is unequivocally non-negotiable for achieving that irresistible yumminess.
With cheese and beef as our heroes, and a supportive cast of carrots, celery, and onion, what unfolds is a symphony of depth and rounded flavor that culminates in a soul-soothing culinary masterpiece.
