Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a 3-qt. saucepan.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup, as they will break down and thicken the soup nicely. If you are using a different type of potato, you may need to add a little cornstarch or flour to help thicken the soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you are cooking the potatoes, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. If you need to cook the potatoes in batches, that's fine.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Swiss, or Parmesan cheese.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: This soup is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if you have any leftovers.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful potato cheese soup is a perfect comfort food for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
