Mac and Cheese Soup

I had pretty low expectations for this mac and cheese soup. I thought it might be too thick. Or not have much flavor. Oh, boy was I wrong about everything. This soup was fantastic. It made for the perfect bowl of happiness on a cold, dreary winter’s day. Just the right amount of seasoning. Just the right of cheese. And oh so creamy smooth. I should’ve doubled the recipe.

Mac and Cheese Soup

Creamy Goodness In Every Bite

I like a bit of kick, a bit of heat, in my dishes so I admit to adding a good deal more cayenne pepper when I made this mac and cheese soup. Not so much that it overpowered the great flavors, but enough that I knew that it was there.

Feel free to use other varieties of Velveeta for totally new soup flavors.

I like to make this soup in my big ole trusty Dutch oven.

Also try my creamy pimento cheese soup.
