Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Cooking the Soup
  1. In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes and chicken broth, then bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour to create a roux.
  4. Gradually add milk to the roux, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
  5. Pour the milk mixture into the potato pot and stir to combine.
  6. Stir in salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  7. Serve hot and garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For an even creamier soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the milk mixture, or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
