While most of us our still in the hot, summer mode of the season, Epcot International Food and Wine Festival has us thinking Fall thoughts. One stand-by favorite of the Festival is this Canadian Cheddar Soup from Le Cellier. Not only can you find this dish at Epcot International Food and Wine Festival but also at it’s OG space Le Cellier restaurant in the Canada Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot. This soup is a rich, creamy wonder that I could eat over and over again. The fact that it has bacon makes it even more crave worthy. This recipe for Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup is easy and will have you transported to Epcot in no time.
