Ingredients:
- 4 cups diced peeled potatoes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions (plus more for topping)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Optional toppings: cooked and crumbled bacon, sour cream, extra shredded cheese, chives
Directions:
- Cook the potatoes: In a medium pot, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Make the roux: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a thick paste.
- Add liquids: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, then the milk. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add potatoes and flavor: Stir in the cooked potatoes, salt, pepper, and green onions. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes to combine flavors.
- Melt the cheese: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and creamy.
- Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and top with bacon, extra cheese, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
