Introduction

This recipe couldn't be faster to prepare if you tried! It tastes phenomenal and is ready minutes after you walk in the door. Feel free to throw in extra spices here or there for your own taste buds but it is excellent as is as well! I usually chop the potatoes, carrots and onions the night before so I don't have to work more than a minute the next morning. Enjoy! This recipe couldn't be faster to prepare if you tried!

Remove the cover, stir in the cheese until melted and serve...and ENJOY!

    Good
    I wasn't sure how to rate this recipe. It tasted good and the flavors were right but it didn't read as a soup. It was more like potatoes in a light broth. Also the cheese didn't really melt in as I had thought it would. - 1/18/14

    Very Good
    I made half of the recipe and it turned out delicious. I mashed 3/4 of the potatoes for a thicker consistency. I will definitely make this one again. - 11/16/11

    This tasted good but I wish I could find a way to thicken the soup so it was more creamy and less watery. - 5/25/09

    When I'm in the mood for a thick soup, I totally agree. I don't have a large food processor anymore but I would guess that processing half the crock of soup and keeping the other half of the potato chunks would thicken it for sure. Hope you enjoyed it!
