This creamy and cheesy potato soup recipe is a family favorite with its super comforting rich cheddar broth! It's simple to make in just 35 minutes and uses everyday ingredients.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2 ticks celery chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 4 cups chicken broth or veggie broth
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled & diced
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese + extra for serving shredded
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh chives optional
Instructions
- Add the butter to a pot over medium heat, and once it's melted, add the onion and celery and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and flour. Cook for about 2 minutes, breaking it up with your spoon/stirring it as you go along (this cooks the raw flour taste out).
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until all the flour has dissolved/there's no lumps.
- Stir in the cream, Worcestershire sauce, and potatoes. Crank the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat so it's simmering but not boiling rapidly (medium-low heat works with my cast iron pot & gas stove). Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar.
- Let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened up. I stir it a few times to ensure nothing is sticking and that the stove's temperature is still correct.
- Turn the stove off, and stir in the cheddar gradually.
- Season generously with salt & pepper. Serve and top bowls with extra cheddar and chopped chives (if using).
Notes
- If the soup seems too thick, add in a splash more chicken broth (milk or cream works too). Keep in mind it'll thicken up more as it cools so you may need to add more liquid when reheating.
- Use a good quality cheddar since this soup doesn't have a lot of ingredients and you'll really taste it.
- I love using Lawry's seasoning salt in here instead of regular salt.
- If the soup seems too thick, add in a splash more chicken broth (milk or cream works too). Keep in mind it'll thicken up more as it cools so you may need to add more liquid when reheating.
- Serves 4-6 depending on how much people eat.
