This Potato Cheese Soup is super easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. There’s nothing like homemade soup!
There’s nothing like a good potato cheese soup when the fall season comes around. It does a great job of warming up my bones. Plus I love the flavor combination of the potatoes and cheese.
My preference is to use Russet Potatoes for my soups but I’m sure other types would work equally well. If you have some thoughts on this please leave a comment below.
Additionally, feel free to use any type of cheddar cheese. I really like the flavor of Sharp Cheddar cheese in this soup.
Oh and if you don’t have any whole wheat flour on hand, you can use All Purpose Flour. I did once and could not tell much of a difference.
Make sure you drain the diced tomatoes as you don’t want the tomato juices to affect the flavor of this wonderful soup.
If you prefer your potato cheese soup with a little more potatoes, add another 1/2 Cup to the mixture.
If you like making homemade soup, make sure you check out my collection of Soups & Chowders. My Dill Pickle Soup is my favorite!
