1886 Cafe and Bakery Cheese Soup
Source: Driskill Hotel, Austin, Texas - recipe from texasmonthly.com
This recipe is hotel executive chef David Bull's adaptation of Texas cooking maven Helen Corbitt's original cheese soup. He likes it a bit spicier and he uses Velveeta, which melts beautifully. If you substitute Cheddar, which was called for in the original, be sure to grate it finely or it will not melt all the way.
