Cheesy Potato Soup
Ingredients:
1 T. Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic (more if you like garlicy soup)
2 cups broth or water
3-4 pounds of potatoes
1 cup diced, precooked bacon, ham or sausage
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
Extra cheddar cheese and crackers for serving
Directions:
Add olive oil to a large stock pot, heat and sauté diced garlic (careful not to burn it).
Add two cups of broth or water and bring to a boil.
While you are heating the broth, peel and dice your potatoes. Dice them small to speed up cooking time, or larger for chunky soup.
Add diced potatoes and bring back to a boil. If needed, add more water or both to cover the potatoes. Boil until they start to soften. 20-25 min.
Add precooked meat if desired.
Once the potatoes are soft, reduce heat and add milk and cheddar cheese. Allow everything to melt.
Serve with more cheese and crackers.
Try Kinfork’s flavored Cheddar Cheese in the soup. Garlic and Parsley is my favorite, but try all the flavors for new twists on the soup!
Enjoy!
