Potato Onion and Cheddar Soup: A Tale of Two Soups

I was excited about sharing my ‘Blue Cheese Soup’ recipe last week, but disappointed to learn how many of my friends don’t like blue cheese. I have always known that these kind of people existed, but I just never wanted to think that it might be anyone I knew! I am not the type to judge others however, and I respect others preferences as long as they don’t wave it in my face. One of things I like about the blue cheese soup recipe is how adaptable it is. So this weekend I reinterpreted it into something entirely different with only a couple changes to the original. It is still as easy to make and every bit as good, if not better! I dare any of you “blue-cheeseaphobes” to take issue with this one!

Potato Onion and Cheddar Soup
 
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1½ cups half and half
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar
Garnish with any or all of the following:
  • Crisp cooked Applewood smoked bacon, crumbled
  • Sour cream
  • Green onions or chives
  • Siracha sauce
  • Jalapeño ‘Nacho’ slices
Instructions
  1. In a large non-reactive pot, melt butter and sauté onions and garlic until soft; do not let them brown! Add potatoes and garlic, stir to coat with butter and cook about 4 minutes. Add stock to cover, lower heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool a bit.
  2. Blend smooth with a hand blender, or transfer to a blender and process until smooth. Return it to the pot if you are using a blender. Stir in the cream and cheese. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved cheese.

    What I love about this soup is the technique. I adore blue cheese but didn’t have any so I used chèvre. It was wonderful! I picked up some maytag and will make again. Great to have in your cookbook!
