By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 4 slices rye bread
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• 1 chicken-flavored bouillon cube
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1 (20-ounce) sliced apples

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut bread into chunks and place on a baking sheet. Bake 3 minutes or until lightly toasted; set aside.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Mix in flour and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly add milk, bouillon cube, and white pepper, stirring constantly.

Heat to boiling, then add cheeses and whisk until melted and soup is smooth.

Evenly divide apple slices among 4 bowls. Pour soup over apples. Arrange toasted bread evenly on top of soup to create jack-o'-lantern faces. Serve immediately.
