Creamy Cheese Potato Soup Recipe

A delicious buttery, chunky and creamy cheese potato soup recipe. It's made of all-natural ingredients, no stock and packed full of potatoes, onions, carrot and a smidgen garlic.

Now that my husband and I are working from home, I've been making some more family lunches. Just like this chunky and creamy cheese potato soup recipe. Or, you could perhaps call it a cheesy potato and carrot soup.

To be fair, I'd had a recipe like this in my head for so long. But you know when you have a vision, it's got to taste exactly how you imagined. And I think I got it exact.

Why I hesitate is, I could always add endless amounts of cheese in my dishes. ALWAYS. But there comes a time when you need to put a pin it in, otherwise, you might as well eat from the block. So feel free to add less or more after cooking.

How to Cook Creamy Cheese Potato Soup Recipe

With it being a hearty delicious creamy cheese potato soup recipe without store-bought stock, we only added the good stuff. And that's lots of vegetables!

So once you've peeled and chopped all the veg to go in my recipe for potato soup, we'll add butter in a large pan. Note mine is a jam pan. And then we'll sweat the onions, garlic, leeks and potatoes for about 10 minutes.

Next, we'll add flour and stir while cooking for about 3 minutes. This will help thicken it during the simmering process. And finally, add all of the milk, water and seasonings and simmer for about 30 minutes. By this point, it should be thick and creamy before stirring in cheese to serve.

What Equipment Do I Need?

• Jam pan (or very large saucepan)
• Chopping knife
• Chopping board
• Cheese grater
• Garlic press
• Measuring spoons
• Weighing scales
• Measuring jug
• Salt and pepper grinder
• Potato peeler
• Spatula

There are a few tips I can suggest on how to make this cheese potato soup recipe healthier. And that is:

• Use Frylight instead of butter
• Choose skimmed or semi-skimmed milk
• Try adding Butter Buds low fat powdered butter powder
• Use floury potatoes
• Stir in oats for fibre that thickens as opposed to flour

Tips For Reheating Cheese Potato Soup

The first tip I would recommend where at all possible, is to eat this potato soup recipe freshly cooked. In fact, any potato soup recipes. You'll notice that when it cools, it will thicken and may need to add extra water. And with water, you'll lose a little bit of flavour.

Remember, you can always add more cheese and seasoning. Also, to reheat, I like to use Sistema microwaveable jugs that have a vented lid. I prefer these to re-heating in a pan to avoid lost moisture.

How Long Will Creamy Cheese Potato Soup Keep?

I pretty much eat all of my refrigerated soups within 5 days of cooking.

Can I Freeze This Creamy Cheese Potato Soup?

Absolutely! I use the same Sistema jugs as mentioned above to freeze all of my soups. I will either defrost the night before in the fridge or quickly in my microwave using the defrost setting for about 10 minutes.
