Creamy Cheddar Potato Soup
Cheesy, savory creamy cheddar potato soup to help warm the soul. Deliciously filling and full of fantastic flavor!
I must admit I have a bit of a soup obsession. I know I am not alone.
There’s nothing better than a piping hot bowl of soup on a cold, chilly day.
With 5″ of snow on the ground, and at least a layer of ice, this was the perfect time to make one of my favorites, Creamy Cheddar Potato Soup.
Guess what? We have another winter snow storm on it’s way.
Winter Storm Rocky has now begun and is on his way here – should arrive around Tuesday.
I’m thinking this nice variety of delicious soups that our group has brought you is going to come in handy in my kitchen arsenal over the next week or so!
My souper (see what I did there?) sweet friend Pam from The Meltaways is hosting this fantastic theme.
She must have had some sort of ESP or something and known some of us were going to get snow dumped on us and the temperatures were going to drop. It truly is the perfect theme right now.

How easy and delicious is this soup Nicole?! And those striking colors. Stay warm and have another bowl!
Delicious. I haven’t had cheddar in awhile but I can see how potatoes and cheddar complement each other. Great looking and delicious soup.
I love soup but sadly the rest of my family doesn’t often get as excited. This soup I think will make everyone very happy!

Cheddar and potato? Yes, this would make a perfect hearty dish for inclimate weather!
Mmm cheese and potatoes! Love how few ingredients you need for this soup. Must make this even though I’m sure the temp won’t drop below 80 until November…
Oooh….I LOVE your recipe, Nicole! More cheese than mine which means MORE deliciousness!
OK, first – when did they start naming SNOWSTORMS?! We had Nemo around here a few weeks ago. And second, that soup sounds dreamy!!
Oh yeah, I can totally see a big ol’ bowl of this in my future. It looks wonderful. Stay warm during the storm, Nicole!
I am with you, Nicole. I (we) are also huge fans of soup any time of year actually.
Your creamy cheddar potato soup looks fantastic. It is one of those dishes that makes me wish we (my kids) could have any type of cheese…Stay warm! ~ Bea
