Cheddar Cheese Potato Soup
Here's a recipe I created as an alternative to plain potato soup. Hearty and comforting, it disappears quickly when I serve it to my family on chilly evenings. Team it with bread and a salad, and you have a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup butter
- 5 cups cubed peeled potatoes
- 3 cups water
- 3 cups 2% milk, divided
- 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled

Best soup ever!! That is what my soup loving hubby said! I have to make a double batch, it is eaten that quickly!
My entire family loved this meal which is like a miracle! Really filling, delcicious, and I'll be making again.
This came out amazing, thank you for the great recipe!! I used all the ingredients as is except the bacon and added lots of crushed garlic, 2 large carrots, a cup sour cream and a cup parmigiana cheese ( I used half the cheddar). I blended it and served it with a little red pepper flakes. Perfection
Good home cooked meal from scratch.will do it again.
I love this soup. I'm sure it's not particular healthy with the milk and cheese involved, however I add a lot of vegetables so it has more of a consistency of a stew rather than a soup. All in all, if you take out the vegetables and add something like only carrots and broccoli, this soup would be amazing as well. I also substituted the bacon with ham, and it works great as the ham doesn't get soggy like the bacon does if you leave it in.I love this soup!!
This was a delicious soup. I added ham chunks instead of bacon. My husband and I really enjoyed it.
I feed a few vegetarians so I eliminated the bacon and the chicken bouillon and used vegetable broth instead of water. It was still very flavorful!
I love this recipe! The only thing I did differently was add broccoli and leave out the celery. It cooks up easy and is so delicious!!
This soup is amazing and sooooo easy to make! My mom and I make it pretty frequently because we love it so much. This is definitely going to become a recipe that ill use forever
