ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP
This soup is ridiculous as is! But for your kids, keep it super simple with lots of Cheddar cheese on top. Or nothing! And for the adult faces, we get a little crazy with the toppings. I'm talking crumbled bacon, jalapeno peppers, dollops of sour cream, cheese, some yummy chives. Yes.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onions and saute until the veggies begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss with a good pinch of salt. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the potatoes soften, about 20 minutes. Then add the milk and butter, and stir until the butter melts.
- At this point you have a few options. If you have an immersion blender, simply stick the wand in the pot and give it a few whizzes, blending some of the soup until it's nice and creamy. You'll still want a good amount of potato chunks in the soup, so don't go overboard, like I tend to do.
- You can also scoop out about 2 cups of the soup and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend until creamy and transfer it back to the soup pot.
- Or, you can simply mash a few of the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving it on the slightly chunkier side. It's up to you!
- After you've creamified it, give it another taste and add plenty of salt and pepper if needed.
- Scoop out a little for the kids and keep it simple for them with shredded Cheddar and a kiss of chives! (Chives are optional, of course.) As for you, adult faces, load up your bowls with plenty of chopped bacon, Cheddar, little dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapenos and chives!

CREAMY, CHEESY POTATO SOUP
Fast, easy, creamy, and cheesy! A great weeknight meal when you want something that will stick to your ribs but don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I found this recipe in my mom's recipe collection after she passed away and we love it! The recipe is very forgiving if you need to sub ingredients based on what you have on hand. Don't have broth? Use the potato cooking liquid with a tsp of chicken bouillon mixed in. No heavy cream? No worries, use all milk. I make a lot of soup when the weather turns cold and you know what they say about Wisconsin.... we have 2 seasons, Winter and Road Construction... we eat a lot of soup- LOL :)

CREAMY CHEESY POTATOES
Comfort food at it's best! I don't usually measure when I make this dish, so the ingredients are approximations. You may need more or less of an ingredient to suit your tastes. If you want a cheesy dish, use the cheddar cheese soup, otherwise use the cream of mushroom to use as a creamy base.

POTATO SOUP WITH CREAM CHEESE
This is a family favorite throughout the fall and winter! It's easy to prep and great for a lazy day, filling the house with aroma. Have extended family and guests? Simply double the quantity of each item. It's that easy! I derived the potato soup with cream cheese base compliments of Panera Bread®. I added a few extras over time to appeal to the whole family. This a well balanced, full-flavored soup, with a hint of trailing heat compliments of cayenne. If you have picky "little" ones you can substitute red pepper flakes as a side garnishment. Serve with sharp shredded cheese and a loaf a fresh beer bread!

PANERA'S CREAM CHEESE POTATO SOUP
This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It's a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work.

CHEESY POTATO SOUP
I received this recipe from a good friend, tweaked it just a bit to our liking, and it is amazing! We love it, and it is so easy and quick that it's perfect for a busy weeknight. Serve with a salad and some crusty bread, and it's a whole meal! *UPDATE 1/22/08 I often use less butter when I make this, and also usually omit the sour cream. It is a very rich soup so cutting back on those helps a bit, but it is really good with it too!

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make your soup gluey.
- Add the milk and cream slowly. Stir constantly while adding the milk and cream to prevent the soup from curdling.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cumin, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the soup hot. Cheesy cream of potato soup is best served hot, with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Cheesy cream of potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and hearty potatoes, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
