Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes steamed until soft
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 6 cups milk divided
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 6 tablespoons butter divided
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar
- Optional toppings: Cheese bacon, onion, hot sauce, green onions
Instructions
- Place cut up potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear (about 1 minute). Drain potatoes, removing as much water as possible. Fill large pot with 1 inch water. Bring water to a boil. Put steamer basket into the pot and fill with potatoes (you don't want your potatoes submerged in water). Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes pierce easily with a fork.
- In a stockpot add 1 tablespoon of butter and over medium heat cook the onion until fragrant and translucent. Add 3 cups of milk. Stir in the vegetable stock, salt and pepper cooked potatoes. Mash potatoes to desired texture (I creamed the potatoes with an immersion blender leaving some chunks).
- In a separate saucepan, melt remaining 5 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in remaining 3 cups of milk. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot with the potatoes, and cook soup until heated through. Add cheese and stir until melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use vegetable boullion or vegetable paste like the brand Better Than Boullion in place of the stock.
