  • Heat over medium heat until bubbling, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  • Once boiling, continue cooking for 10 minutes or until everything is heated through. Be sure to stir occasionally so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.

  • Continue to stir and simmer until both cheeses are melted and the soup is thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
