Super Easy Chunky Cheesy Potato Soup

by

In our house, there are a few favorite dishes that we love to make during different times of the year. In the Spring, I usually love to make my meatless loaf or a casserole with a light salad. But after the huge storms that came through last week, it’s cold again! The temperature dropped back down to the 40s and 50s, so I decided to turn the heat back on and make something warm and filling for the cold day

I chose my yummy Chunky Cheesy Potato Soup. It’s easy to make and so warm and good on a chilly day!

Chunky Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe

Chunky Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds cubed potatoes (can be shredded for less chunky soup)

6 cups water
1/2 lb Velveeta® cheese, cubed
1/4 cup chopped onion, or to taste
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic powder

Directions

1. Combine water, onions, bouillon, parsley, pepper, and garlic powder in a large pot.

2. Bring to a boil over high heat.

3. Add potatoes and boil for another 3-4 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low; add Velveeta®.*

5. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

(* I don’t normally stir the soup completely, other than to move the soup off the bottom of the pot periodically. I love having the Velveeta swirling through the soup – it looks pretty and gives nice extra-cheesy bites throughout the soup.)

So simple! It’s one of our favorite meals on cold winter days and it was the perfect dinner the other night when the weather turned cold so suddenly. The delicious taste of  thick potato soup with a hint of garlic and our favorite Velveeta® cheese – mmmmmmm!

Let me know if you make it. I’d love to know what you think.  🙂

  15. Ohh, I love potato soup, so does my daughter and she LOVES velveeta, I may have to give this one a try for her

  16.  We love potato soup at my house!! I also add chopped long green chilis in mine and then when I serve it, I put some shredded jack cheese and bacon bits on top.  yummy!!

  19. I absolutely LOVED my Mom’s potato soup! I still have not attempted to make it, but your recipe sounds like something I could try. I am going to save it so that I can make it later. Thank you for the recipe! =)

  20. I love potato soup!My Mom made the best,she would put some dried red hot pepper in hers.I have never tried cheese in potato soup,but it looks good.I’m going to pin the recipe for later.

  22. We love Potato soup, I made something similar, but I did a potato and cauliflower cheese soup, it was delicious too!

  23. My Grandmother used to make potato soup when I was a kid and I havent had it since she passed away when I was 15 years old. This looks like such a yummy recipe and I am gonna make it for sure!! Thanks for the recipe.

  25. No question – this soup looks really yummy – and reading the ingredients – I KNOW it will taste Good. I think maybe I’d add a few thinly sliced green onions (or chives) to add a little more color and flavor. I’m also thinking for another variation I might try adding some roasted garlic and rosemary (preferaby a sprig of fresh you can remove at the end of cooking.)

    Thanks. I love easy, simple recipes that one can make quickly and then use as a base for all kinds of variations! 

  29. Thanks for this quick recipe, we all need them from time to time & my daughters would love this, as would my SISTER 🙂 hahhaahha

  36. This looks so easy and I happen to have all these ingredients on hand, I think I will make it for dinner tonight! But I will probably shred the potatoes and cheese really fine because I like a smoother soup.

  37. i love my sister’s potato soup, especially when i am not feeling well.  it is a comforting dish, and i like your addition of cheese.

  38. This soup looks amazing. I haven’t Velveeta in years, and when I buy it, I start snacking on it… and snacking… until I don’t have enough for the recipe!!!  I must get two packages of Velveeta, to make sure I have enough for the soup!  I love that it doesn’t take that long, either. It is still cold enough to want something this comforting and hot for your tummy!

  40. This looks delicious! A little bit of crispy bacon crumbled on top and I would be set!
