Regular diet Potato Cheddar Soup Comfort Food Easy Recipe

Ingredients

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped chives, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender, working in batches to avoid splatters.
Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into the soup and create a rich, cheesy flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. If the soup is too thick, you can add more milk or broth to reach your desired consistency.
Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and garnish with chopped chives for a pop of freshness and color. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
