This Canadian Cheese Soup—famously served at Le Cellier in EPCOT—is a rich, velvety masterpiece that perfectly captures the heart of Canadian comfort food. The combination of a nutty roux, sharp cheddar, and a splash of Canadian lager creates a complex flavor profile that is both savory and slightly tangy. Using an immersion blender is the secret to getting that professional, silky texture that makes this soup world-renowned.
