Cheddar Potato Soup

Great way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. If you don't have any you can always use the instant taters...I just like the homemade ones that have a few chunks left in them....

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • Hot sauce, optional

Directions

  1. Add oil to a large pot set over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add stock and mashed potatoes and bring to a simmer.
  2. Using a hand blender or regular blender, puree soup until smooth (when using a regular blender, work in batches to prevent messy cleanups!). Add Cheddar, salt, white pepper, dry mustard and hot sauce. Stir to combine and allow the cheese to melt.
