Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
4 cups diced peeled potatoes
3 cups chicken broth (NOTE, use vegetable broth to make this vegetarian)

2 cups 2% low-fat milk
herbs or spices

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot, heat oil or melt butter, and saute onion and celery until soft.
  • Add potatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Then simmer covered for 10-15 minutes.
  • Puree in a blender, or with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Return soup to pan, stir in cheese, milk and seasonings. Cook over low heat until cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with chopped chives, bacon crumbles, or your favorite topping.
