Whew, that feels better to get that off of my chest. I have tried and failed. I should not say fail, there are less cans in the house, but there still are cans. So, yes I still have a few cans of things in my pantry. And half of them are BPA free. I found the line Eden Organic. All of their cans are BPA free. Pretty cool, huh'? But after tonight, there will be one less of the bad cans, for sure.
So, I was planning to make this cheeseburger pasta dish that we all love. I went to the pantry and I could not find a can of condensed cheddar cheese soup. I panicked, crap, this was the plan, now what was I going to cook? Then I remembered a recipe I had found a long time ago and had done nothing with it, except for file it away in my binder labeled Healthy Recipes. I am laughing, I am not sure cheddar cheese soup is "healthy" but my goal in starting this binder was to find ways to replace the foods we were eating with ones that were healthier for us, here not buying this soup in a can was healthier to me.
So, anyway, I dug out this recipe, made it in no time and it is delish!
Here it is....
Homemade Cheddar Cheese Soup
3 tbsp organic butter (Meijer makes organic butter that we love)
3 tbsp unbleached organic all purpose flour (King Arthur is my fav)
1 cup organic milk
1 cup organic or at least rBGH free shredded cheddar cheese
Melt butter in a stainless steel saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until smooth and bubbly. Remove form heat; gradually add milk, whisking to keep smooth. Return to heat and bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly until thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add salt. Sooo easy and sooo much better than from the can. Enjoy!!
