Does anyone know of a cheddar soup that had sauteed onions and celery? It was in a cookbook my mom had, but I don’t remember what it was called (obviously).

   It sounds like you’re looking for a classic cheddar cheese soup recipe! A typical version often includes sautéed onions and celery for flavor. While I can’t pinpoint the exact cookbook your mom had, I can offer a simple recipe that you might enjoy and that has those ingredients:

   Cheddar Cheese Soup Recipe

   Ingredients:
   – 1 tablespoon butter
   – 1 medium onion, chopped
   – 2 celery stalks, chopped
   – 2 carrots, chopped (optional)
   – 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
   – 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
   – 1 cup milk or cream
   – 2 tablespoons flour (optional, for thickening)
   – Salt and pepper to taste

   Instructions:
   1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery (and carrots, if using) and sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.
   2. If you want a thicker soup, sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
   3. Gradually add the broth while stirring, bringing it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
   4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted, followed by the milk or cream. Heat until warmed through, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
   5. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or chives if desired.

   Feel free to adjust the recipe based on your preferences or what you remember from the original! If you find any unique ingredients or methods in the cookbook, let me know, and I can help tailor it to match. Enjoy!
