4 potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
2 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Method/Steps
In a medium saucepan, over high heat, bring potatoes, onion and chicken broth to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Pour half of the potatoes and all of the onions and liquid into a food processor. Add milk and cheese. Process until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through. If soup is too thick, add more milk or broth. Serve in bowls and garnish with parsley.
