Cheesiest Tomato 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.
Ingredients

- 5 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Method
