How to Make 3 Cheese Potato Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed, and enough water (about 4 cups) to barely cover the potatoes.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. In a blender or using an immersion blender, carefully combine 4 cups of the cooked potato mixture with 1 cup of milk until completely smooth.
  6. Pour the blended soup mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining potatoes. Stir gently over low heat.
  7. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and ½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or your favorite cheese combination!). Stir until melted and smooth.
  8. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, but do not boil.
  9. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
  10. To freeze: Allow soup to cool completely. Ladle into a 1-gallon freezer bag, pressing out excess air. Lay flat to freeze.
