Preparation: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for the Scottish Cheddar Cheese Soup. 🛒

Cooking:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the onions to the saucepan and sauté them for a few minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly, and cook for another minute to create a roux, which will help thicken the soup.
- Pour in the milk and vegetable stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. 🥄
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then season with pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. 🕒

Cheesy Goodness:
- Gradually toss the grated cheddar cheese into the soup, stirring gently until it melts and incorporates smoothly. 🧀
- Be careful not to let the soup boil once the cheese has been added, as this can cause the cheese to become stringy instead of creamy. 🚫💧

Serve: Once the cheese is fully melted and the soup has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. 🍲
