Rich-as-can-be Potato Cheese Soup is a classic restaurant favorite that we can easily simmer on our stovetop. With a stick-to-your-ribs thick and hearty potato soup like this, it's easy to ladle up a satisfying meal chock-full of comfort.
What You'll Need
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 3 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus additional to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cup (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
What to Do
- In a soup pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion, and saute 5 to 7 minutes, or until tender.
- Add chicken broth, potatoes, and vinegar; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Add flour, milk, salt, and pepper; cook until soup is thickened and heated through, stirring constantly. Add cheese and stir until melted. Taste for salt, adding more if necessary. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Because salt levels vary depending on the type of chicken broth you use, you may want to taste for salt when you've finished cooking the soup.
- To serve this hearty soup restaurant-style, top with bacon bits, sliced scallions, and additional shredded cheese.
