Instructions to Make the Goodness

- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, then pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring it all to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are soft, use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes slightly—leave some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese, mixing until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like it a bit more decadent, feel free to add more cheese or cream!
- Serve hot, topped with chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy!
