Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped chives, bacon bits
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth. Return to the pot.

- Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, or bacon bits.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or some cooked and crumbled bacon to the soup.
