I searched high and low for a basic potato cheese soup that my kids would eat (that means not many veggies!). This is it. So good and cheesy!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 large garlic clove
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups water
2 cups milk
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot.
  • Fry onions for 3 minutes (don't let brown).
  • Add garlic and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and water.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender.
  • Mash potatoes until at desired consistency. Or use a hand blender. I like mine left with some chunks.

  • Cook over medium heat until milk begins to simmer.
  • Add the cheese and stir until it melts.
  • Do not boil!
