Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 3 cups Yukon Gold Potatoes diced
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
For the Creaminess
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
For the Seasoning
  • 4 cups Vegetable or Chicken Broth low-sodium
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
For the Herbs
  • 1 tbsp Thyme fresh
  • 1 tbsp Parsley fresh

Equipment

  • large pot
  • immersion blender

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring frequently until translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and pour in your choice of vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired smoothness. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and be cautious of steam; let the soup cool slightly to avoid splatter.
  4. Add the grated sharp cheddar cheese and heavy cream to the pot. Stir until the cheese melts and combines beautifully with the soup, creating that signature creamy texture.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like chopped fresh herbs or croutons for added flair.
