This Canadian Cheese Soup—made famous at Le Cellier in EPCOT—is a rich, velvety dish that perfectly embodies Canadian comfort food. A nutty roux, sharp cheddar, and a splash of Canadian lager create a savory, slightly tangy flavor profile. Using an immersion blender gives it that silky, professional texture that makes it truly world-class.
