The method

Step by step

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth and the cubed processed cheese.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Cubing the cheese before adding it to the pot helps it melt much faster and more evenly.
2
Heat the pot over medium-low heat, stirring or whisking frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the base is smooth.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Low heat is key to prevent the cheese from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
3
Stir in the drained corn, drained mixed vegetables, and the cooked chicken.
About 1 min
4
Season with onion powder and black pepper, if you are using them.
About 1 min
5
Increase the heat to medium and bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Avoid a rapid boil, which can cause the soup to separate or stick.
6
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
