Ingredients for 3 Cheese Potato Soup

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Onion
  • Garlic Powder
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • Cream Of Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • Cream Cheese
  • Mozzarella Cheese

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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
