Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or light tasting oil of your choice)
  • 1 white onion (diced)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (homemade preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups shredded aged white Cheddar
  • 2 cups shredded extra sharp Cheddar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • Minced scallions (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until onion has released its water and begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes. Add potatoes and paprika; cook, stirring to coat potatoes, 1 minute. Stir in broth and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, partially covered, until potatoes are soft, 10–15 minutes. Coarsely mash potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon, and stir in cheese and milk until cheese is melted, 2 minutes. Remove soup from heat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with scallions.
