When you want a bowl of comfort, a little cheese makes soup even better. These cheesy soups cover the whole cozy spectrum: velvety cheddar, hearty pasta-filled bowls, veggie-packed favorites, and French onion soup with that irresistible melted-cheese topping.

Looking for a classic bowl of cheddar soup, something packed with vegetables, or a hearty soup that eats like dinner? I grouped my Cheese Knees favorites by the kind of craving they satisfy, so you can find the right bowl without scrolling through one long list.

Classic Cheese Soups

Start with the classics: spoonable cheddar and beer cheese, Wisconsin-style comfort, and French onion with a glorious blanket of melty cheese. Crusty bread is very much invited.
