Potatoes are simmered in broth until tender, smashed, and combined with a rich cheesy sauce. This is a great chilly-weather meal.
Rich, Creamy, and Cheesy
Cheese and potatoes are a perfect combination in anything from Potatoes Au Gratin to a cheesy hashbrown casserole (or even a breakfast casserole recipe).
Savory, creamy, & with three kinds of cheese, this soup is hearty and filling. With easy prep, it can be ready in less than 30 minutes. Stir in steamed or leftover veggies (like broccoli, peas, or asparagus). Serve cheesy potato soup as a complete meal with a side of biscuits.
Ingredients
DAIRY Butter and garlic cooked with flour will make a quick roux. Milk thins out the sauce, then cream cheese, cheddar, and Gruyere create the cheesy base. Some dry mustard really brings out the flavors in the cheese. POTATOES Any kind of potato is good in soup. Russet potatoes are nice and starchy so they’re our first choice in this recipe. Any potato will work (even hash brown potatoes or leftover mashed potatoes)! BROTH Cooking potatoes in chicken stock gives them so much flavor. The stock can be from a carton or use some defrosted Homemade Chicken Stock. VARIATIONS There are so many ways to mix this soup up. Saute some mushrooms to add, or try steamed broccoli. Crumbled bacon or diced leftover ham taste amazing. Diced or shredded chicken can be added. Even the cream cheese can be subbed out for Velveeta. Try heating and serving from a slow cooker or Crock-Pot.
