![]() ![]() Mac and Cheese Soup is creamy and oh-so-satisfying, just like mac and cheese. Now please excuse me while I prepare supper and serve Mac and Cheese Soup for my family. Tailor it just the way you like as you create a homemade batch of creamy, hearty, filling soup, perfect for a cold winter night or any time you just want a little extra comfort in your life. Remember, you’re creating something special for you and the people you love. The main thing is to keep a spoon handy when you’re making soup, and taste as you go. Many soups develop more flavor when they sit overnight, although my Mac and Cheese Soup is packed with flavor right from the start. You can make soup a day ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.“They’re cheap and add so much flavor,” said Alice Ann, who learned this cooking trick during her days as a college student at Iowa State in Ames. Alice Ann Dial, a neighbor and fantastic farm cook from my hometown of Lake City, Iowa, taught me to not skimp on onions. Go heavy on the onions when making soups.Peppers enhance the flavor, keep this soup from tilting to the blah side, and help you add extra veggies to your meal. While I used a green pepper, you can user red, orange or yellow peppers, jalapenos, or whatever you have on hand. I like to use a mix of red, black, green and white peppercorns for extra flavor. Use a pepper grinder to add fresh-ground pepper to your soup.Enjoy a certain vegetable that’s not on the ingredient list? Try adding it. You can reduce the milk if you like a thicker soup. Since soup-making is more of an art than a science, I always tell people my recipes aren’t rules, just suggestions. Hmmmm, could I combine these into mac and cheese soup? Is there such a thing as mac and cheese soup?Īfter a quick Google search for some culinary inspiration, I came up with a game plan. I also had a small portion of leftover bacon mac and cheese from a recent meal at the Wild Rose Casino in Jefferson. I made a batch of homemade macaroni and cheese a couple days ago that didn’t turn out quite as creamy as I wanted. While I love proven recipes, I also like experimenting in the kitchen, like I did today. Ask me my favorite thing to cook, and the answer is almost always soup. “Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite,” noted Auguste Escoffier, the “chef of kings and king of chefs.” ![]() It’s 10 degrees outside here in Iowa, the mercury is falling, it’s snowing, the wind is blowing, and I feel invincible-because I have a warm kettle of Mac and Cheese Soup on the stove.
