What’s in this Potato Soup recipe?
This cheesy chowder soup is filled with hearty, flavorful ingredients, and it’s so easy to make.
Potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best for potato soup. Peel and dice before adding to the pot. Cheese: Sharp cheddar cheese creates the best flavor, and I mix in a bit of Gruyere or swiss cheese too. Freshly shredded cheese will melt best for a creamier texture. Chicken Broth: I recommend using unsalted or low-sodium chicken broth. Vegetables: There are lots of veggies in this soup, including carrots, peppers, onions, and fennel. Milk: Adding milk creates a thicker, creamier texture–more like a chowder. Flour: Flour helps to thicken the soup.
If you want to make the soup a little bit spicier, add in a jalapeno pepper!
