Ingredients

    2.5 pounds (about 5) russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    8 ounces Cabot sharp cheddar cheese chopped in cubes
    4 tablespoons butter
    4 cups water
    pinch of rosemary
    pinch of thyme
    2 tsp salt
    1 cup milk

Directions

Cook onions in butter in large pan until translucient. Add salt, potatoes and water. Add spices. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Cook until potatoes are soft.
Place several cups of liquid and potatoes (save about 2 cups potato cubes for lightly mashing later)in a blender, add 1/2 cheese and blend until creamy. Add milk as neccesary to keep consistency smooth. Pour into storage bowl and continue until all is blended except reserved potatoes. Lightly mash with a fork and add to soup.

Add salt to taste, I prefer little salt.
Enjoy,
