Notes
Russet potatoes work well in this recipe because they hold their shape and become tender during the long cooking process. However, you can use other types of potatoes, such as red or Yukon gold, if desired.
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher or immersion blender before adding the cheese and cream.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
