Preparation
  1. Begin by peeling and dicing your potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Don’t forget to chop your onion as well.

Cooking

  2. You want those potatoes to get nice and tender.
Finishing Touch
  1. Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Mix well and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes until everything is heated through and creamy.

Notes

Store any remaining soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the soup in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat by thawing overnight and warming in a pot over low heat, adding broth or water if thickened.
