Cheddar Cheese Potato Soup
First things first, let’s feast our eyes on this deliciously creamy concoction:
Now that we’ve set the stage with a mouthwatering image, it’s time to gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need for this cheesy delight:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Chopped chives for garnish
Got all that? Great! Now let’s get this cheese party rolling!
Instructions:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant. Ah, the smell of cooking onions… it’s like a hug for your nose!
- Next, sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. This will help thicken our soup to creamy perfection.
- Gradually stir in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Then, add in the diced potatoes and let them cook until tender, around 10-15 minutes.
- Once your potatoes are nice and soft, it’s time to add the milk. Stir it in and watch as your soup transforms into a luscious creaminess that might just have you swooning.
- The moment we’ve all been waiting for—add the shredded cheddar cheese! Keep stirring until it’s melted and fully incorporated. You may need to taste test at this point… you know, to make sure it’s not too cheesy (spoiler alert: it never is).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re feeling fancy, throw in some chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
And there you have it! You’ve just created a bowl of Cheddar Cheese Potato Soup that’s comforting, delicious, and oh-so-cheesy. Serve it up and enjoy every last drop, even if it means slurping embarrassingly in front of your friends. Trust me, they’ll be begging for the recipe!
