Tips for Perfect Cheese Potato Soup
Cut your potatoes into pieces no larger than ¾″ and try to keep them around the same size so that they cook at the same time.
To make this soup nice and creamy, I recommend pureeing about half of it either by using an immersion blender or with a spoon, and then stirring the pureed soup back into the pot.
