The weather is warming up a bit here in California, just in time for spring break season. But we still have some cool evenings. For these nights, I love to make this tasty, creamy potato cheese soup. This is one of my favorite soups to make when I want to warm things up. You can also top it with cooked bacon bits and sour cream for more of a baked potato soup.
Stir often and continue cooking soup about 15 more minutes over medium-low heat (soup will thicken).
Pour into soup bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
So warm and comforting!

Cheese and potatoes – what’s not to love? My favorite cold weather soup is clam chowder, although that’s more of a summer soup around here in New England.
