This is The Best Cheesy Potato Soup and so easy to make. With Potatoes , celery, onions, milk and a lot of cheddar cheese . This soup comes together in less than an hour and is delicious.

I love soup, especially this time of year. If you have been following me you probably know I have shared several soup recipes. Some of my favorites have been Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup and Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup. However this may be my new favorite. It is so cheesy and full of chunky potatoes.

How to Serve the Soup:

What I love about soup is that it is so versatile . It can be served alone in a big bowl with a side of bread or rolls and it is a meal on its own. Serve up a cup with a sandwich or a salad and they are the perfect duo. Also there are so many delicious toppings you can add to potato soup to make it even better. Try - bacon bits, sour cream , chives, or more cheese to name a few.
