Easy Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe (8 Simple Ingredients)
It’s been raining here for the last few days – and it’s just the perfect kind of weather for a hearty bowl of cheesy potato soup! This was the easiest step-by-step little potato soup recipe and it made enough to feed my family of 6 two bowls each, with leftovers for lunch tomorrow! My kids and husband told me it was the BEST soup I’d ever made – I couldn’t believe it was such a big hit! The recipe below is the most basic – but I’ve added some optional extras you can use to make it even BETTER. (Like shredded carrots to give it a little vitamin kick)
