Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut peeled potatoes into ½-3/4 chunks and place in a large dutch oven or saucepan. Cover with water.
  • Cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and leave in strainer. Remove about ½ of the potatoes and mash. This will add a bit more thickness to the soup.
  • In the same pan, melt butter and add chopped onions and celery. Saute for about 8-10 minutes until celery is soft and onions are translucent.
  • Sprinkle with flour, stir and cook for a minute or so.
  • Gently pour vegetable broth into pan along with heavy cream, salt and pepper and seasoning.
  • Cook over low/medium heat until hot then add velveeta and cheddar cheese. Stir.
  • Once cheese has melted, add in the potatoes that have been mashed, stir and then add the remaining potato chunks to the liquid.
  • Continue on a low heat until ready to serve.
  • Top with additional cheese if desired.
