Beemster Cheese Soup With Herbs
Yield: 4 Servings
3-1/2 ounces Beemster Classic, grated finely
7 ounces Beemster Classic, coarsely grated
1 tablespoon flour
1-3/4 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 zucchini, in cubes
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chives, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
freshly ground salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Mix the grated Beemster Classic with the flour and spoon 8 mounds of cheese on a cookie sheet lined with baking parchment. Bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes to form nice flat wafers.
Leave the wafers on the cookie sheet to cool. Melt the butter in a stock pot and lightly sauté the onion and zucchini for 3-5 minutes.
Stirring constantly, add the milk and both and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stirring constantly, add the grated Beemster Classic a little at a time until it melts. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Serve the cheese soup in warmed soup plates and garnish with a generous amount of herbs with a cheese wafer on top.
Enjoy!

Beemster Gourmet Cheese is out of this world extraordinary. I love to shred it on salads, pasta, pizza, and eggs. I’m also completely addicted to slicing it off and eating it straight from the fridge! It’s THAT remarkable. When you’ve eaten truly special gourmet cheese like Beemster’s there’s no going back. There’s a rich, bold, extra-cheesy flavor that you simply can’t find anywhere else.
When you get a chance, do yourself a favor and try Beemster’s Gourmet cheese.
