Ingredients

  • 4-5 stalks of celery chopped
  • 1 cup Julienned carrots rough chopped
  • 2 small onion diced (about 1 1/4 cup)
  • 4 potatoes peeled and cubed (I use Russet)
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 32 oz Chicken broth or a little more make sure you cover the veggies (use vegetable stock to make this recipe vegetarian)
  • 3 cans cream of potato soup
  • 16 ounces container sour cream 2 cups
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In your soup pot, melt butter. Add the celery, carrots and onion and saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, cover with chicken broth, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until your veggies are your desired tenderness. ( I like mine a little firmer)
  • Stir in cream of potato soup and sour cream.
  • Stir in 1 cup of cheddar, reserving the second cup for topping.

Notes

This soup is delicious served with sourdough bread, and the leftovers are even tastier!
To prepare this soup in the crockpot, place everything with the exception of sour cream, cream of potato and cheddar cheese in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours. Stir the remaining ingredients in and heat through before eating.
