How to Make 3 Cheesy Potato Soup
- Peel and cube 2 lbs russet potatoes.
- Boil potatoes in a large pot with 6 cups of salted water until tender but firm (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and lightly mash them using a potato masher or fork. Leave some chunks for texture.
- Stir in 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 cup whole milk, 8 ounces velveeta cheese (cubed), 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 1/2 lb (8 ounces) cheddar cheese (shredded).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the soup is thickened and bubbly (about 10-15 minutes). Add reserved potato water, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with cooked bacon crumbles and extra shredded cheddar cheese.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
