Potato Cheddar Soup

The last few days here have been cold and rainy, which is not normal here in Southern California. So I took advantage of the chill and make myself some yummy soup! Not chicken noodle soup like you might be thinking, but thick and creamy potato cheddar soup.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cooked, diced potatoes (approx 3-4 large Russet potatoes)
• 1/4 c butter
• 1/4 c flour
• 2 c chicken broth
• 1 c milk
• 1/2 c sour cream
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 c sharp cheddar cheese
• Garnish – shredded cheese, green onions, cooked/crumbled bacon

Directions:

1. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat then whisk in flour.
2. Gradually whisk in broth, then the milk and sour cream. Add half of the diced potatoes and mash in the pot. Bring to a boil then add shredded cheese, stirring until it’s all melted.
3. Add remaining potatoes and cook until heated through.  Garnish with shredded cheese, green onions and/or crumbled bacon.
