Because it's SO SIMPLE!
Here's what you need:
Potatoes (I use plain ol russets)
Milk
Cheddar cheese
Butter
What you CAN add:
Bacon pieces
Sour cream
Green onions
Onions
Bell peppers
The list goes on and on and on and......
You NEED TO HAVE only four ingredients though: milk, potatoes, butter, and cheese.
I never measure amounts of my ingredients, I always just eye ball it, but this is the guesstimated recipe which should be fantastic!
First dice all of your potatoes (6-8) and put them in a pot. Cover the potatoes with water and boil for...I'd say twenty minutes. Until they're soft to the poke. :)
Turn your burner to low.
Drain your water and immediately add butter. I use two tablespoons, that's up to you!
Then comes the cheese and milk. I use about two cups of grated cheese. You can use more or less just depending on how CHEESY you want your soup.
Then add as much milk (I sometimes also use a little half and half if we have it) as you want. Sometimes I make this thick and chunky and sometimes I like it more soupy. I add a little stir, add a little stir, etc.
Then I take my spoon and mash the potatoes against the side of my pot to make less chunks. I keep this particular soup quite chunky though.
I also add generous amounts of salt and pepper I this before eating and stir it in well. If you don't do this, the soup will be UNBELIEVABLY BLAND!
That's the recipe, and I hope you all enjoy!
