History of cheese soup
The birthplace of cheese soup is considered to be France, which has long loved cheeses and knew a lot about them. Initially, this soup was prepared as follows: the cheese was cut into slices and placed on the bottom of a plate, and then poured over with hot broth.
In preparation, you can use both hard and soft and processed cheeses. So, in Slovakia, for example, they use feta cheese. According to tradition, Slovaks dissolve feta cheese in water, and then add noodles to the soup, as well as lard and pepper. According to one version, it is the Slovaks who are the creators of the cheese soup. Italians grate cheese into a ready-made dish.
