Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives (for garnish)
- Optional: Bacon bits for extra flavor
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Helpful Tips
- If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water until desired consistency is reached.
- For a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk and use vegetable broth.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
