This Cheesy Potato Soup is absolutely delicious and restaurant-worthy.

When it’s cold outside and the wind is howling this is the soup to make – you’ll have to excuse the on-the-go images in this recipe post – I knew I had to get this post up before I forgot how I made it! I’ll have to circle back around to make some better pictures. 🙂

But, I can promise you that this recipe is absolutely correct and 100% amazing – absolutely delicious.

Creamy & Cheesy Potato Soup

As of the time writing this post it was a rainy Saturday in December and we’ve just returned from high school basketball games for our son … hungry, cold and desiring a hearty soup I knew that potato soup was the answer. Lucky me, I also had all of the ingredients at the house … day made!

The next time you need an easy potato soup recipe that comes together in less than an hour, try this one! It’s delicious!

If you’d rather use hashbrowns instead of dicing potatoes, check out this crockpot potato soup with hash browns. It’s another one of my favorite dinners!

How long is potato soup good for?

I always keep things for 3-4 days.

If this potato soup lasts that long in the fridge I would be amazed.

What are the best potatoes for soup?

I love the creaminess of using red potatoes for soup. That’s just what I prefer, but you could use any potatoes you have on hand.

How to make potato soup thicker?

If you want to make potato soup thicker, combine 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to some heavy whipping cream, once that’s combined slowly pour into the hot soup.
