Instructions
Creating Creamy Potato, Vegetable, and Cheese Soup is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
2. Add Potatoes: Incorporate the diced potatoes into the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Add Mixed Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
5. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
6. Stir in Cream and Cheese: Slowly add the heavy cream and shredded cheese to the pot. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and combined.
7. Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to your liking.
8. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
