It’s also just plain delicious to boot.
It’s a true 30-minute soup, and it reliably turns out velvety and smooth.
Plus, the flavor is very, very cheesy.

Just how we like it.
Add croutons or serve in a bread bowl for extra pizzazz and texture.
You absolutely do not have to blend the soup.

Add the blended soup back to the Dutch oven, and finish the soup.

Top with cheese, and serve.
The potato helps stabilize the emulsion, but still.
Better to be careful!
