Cheesy Potato Soup

This soup was easy to make! Here is the recipe!

Ingredients:
2-4 Medium Potatoes (Peeled and diced 1/2-3/4 inch cubes)
1 Onion chopped
2 (14oz) Cans Chicken Broth
36 oz (4.5 cups) water
*Broth plus water should be 2 Quarts*
1 Stick of Butter
6 Tbsp. Flour
1 Cup Milk
2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Seasoning Salt
1/2 tsp. Paprika
1/4 tsp. Pepper


Combine in a soup pot:
-Potatoes, Onion, Chicken Broth and Water.
-Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on low until tender.
*I was in a time crunch, so I kept it boiling on high*

In a skillet:
-Melt butter and add flour. Cook until mixture bubbles.
-Remove from heat and stir in milk. Return to heat, once mixed, and stir until thick.
-Add the seasonings and cheese. Stir until even.
-Add 1 cup of the potato water to mixture and stir until smooth.
-Pour cheese mixture into the potato pot. Simmer soup on low until ready to serve.

*Soup felt too thin to us. To thicken, we took 1 "ninja bullet" cup of soup and blended it. The blended potato and soup mix, thickened it right up!

Review:
This soup was AWESOME! We did not change any of the ingredients! We added bacon on top but that was it! both of my boys loved it! I hope your family does too!
