Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  2. While potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  4. Stir the milk mixture into the potato mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For an extra smoky flavor, add cooked and crumbled bacon to the soup while it’s simmering. You can also use different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
