  • Deglaze the mixture with vegetable broth and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
  • Add ⅔ of the cheddar cheese to the soup. Use a hand blender and blend until the soup is creamy. If desired season with salt and pepper.
