⏱ 40 mins 🍽 ['8', '8 servings'] 🌶 american 🏷 Soup

This American-style soup delivers a wonderfully cheesy flavour. Canned tomatoes are blended until smooth, then combined with chicken broth, sharp Cheddar, and tomato paste. A selection of dried herbs seasons the mix before it simmers for 30 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt fully and the flavours to meld together into a comforting dish.
