Some of the best parts about going to Epcot are eating and drinking around the world. When walking into Canada you are hit with the invigorating smell of Maple Popcorn.
Have you ever sat at Le Cellier’s Steakhouse and indulged in the Cheddar Soup? If not don’t miss this the next time you go. It’s one of Disney’s most popular recipes and also a favorite of mine. It serves as a great appetizer or even a warm dish for a cozy afternoon. Don’t forget to pair it with pretzel bread for dipping for a magical meal!
If you miss the soup here is a great Disney recipe to try!
