FAQ
How to prevent the cheese from clumping?
I suggest using a boxed grater and shredding the cheese yourself from a block of cheese. I would not recommend pre-shredded cheese you buy from grocery stores as they are usually coated and causes the cheese to clump.
Also, make sure to constantly stir the soup while adding the cheese.
Do not add the cheese all at once. Add it slowly. Adjust the heat up or down if you see cheese beginning to clump until it’s melting before adding more cheese.
