Mandi's Cheesy Potato Soup

Read Reviews (105)

"A hearty soup that is very creamy and delicious. Warms you up on a cold winter day. Easily doubles or triples to make extra servings and tastes even better after it's been reheated. Best of all, it's easy to make!" — Mandi Foreman

Directions

In a large pot over medium heat, combine potatoes, carrot, celery, water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Once tender, stir in milk.
In a small bowl, combine melted margarine, flour, steak seasoning and pepper. Stir into soup, increase heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Very delicious but the recipe is missing some information. It doesn't say what to do with the milk. So I added the milk just before I added the butter/flour mixture and it came out just fine.

Both my husband and I thought this was bland. Perhaps with a bit of tweaking, we could ge it to our liking. I think, however, I will keep looking. Thanks for sharing.

I think this recipe is amazing!!! I make enough to freeze about once a month. I've had my mom over for lunch and she loved it as well. People ask for the recipe all the time! The only real change I made was to use chicken broth instead of water. As well, I always add extra veg and I leave the skins on my potatos.

This potato soup is great and very easy to make. The first time I made it I followed the recipe as stated and the second time the only change I made was that I used Yukon gold potatoes and a little chopped onion and they both turned out great. The only other suggestion I have is to top with chopped green onion and crispy pre-cooked bacon before serving. Great recipe.

This soup was really good and is a family favorite. My husband loves spicy foods and this soup had just enough spices to please everyone. It is a really cheesy soup and very delicious! I top my soup with extra cheese, bacon bits and chives. I recommend this soup to everyone and will fix it again!

Absolutely wonderful!!! Yum, yum, yum! I had to find a good potato cheese soup recipe when I found out the restaurant I used to eat it at used chicken broth (I am a vegetarian.) This was simple to make, and so good! We used vegetable broth instead of water, and we used twice as much. I also added onion and garlic with the carrots and celery. I would highly recommend trying this...the perfect potato cheese soup!

This soup is sooooo good! As a vegetarian it's hard to find potato soups that have no bacon in them, so I made some myself. But couldn't have done it without this recipe! Only thing is it came out pretty thick- I had to add water to thin it out.
