Quick and Easy Cheesy Potato Soup

This recipe is the same as my other recipe called Cheesy Potato Soup but a lot easier! 

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon Butter
3 cups Onion, diced
8 Potatoes, diced
9 cups Chicken broth
3 cups fat-free Half & Half
4 1/4 cups Cheddar, shredded
1 1/2 teaspoon Dill Weed
1 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt

First, cut the onions into quarters and remove the skin.  Then pop them into a Ninja blender/food processor and dice them.  Add the butter to the bottom of a large stock pot and cook them until they are soft and translucent. 





While the onions are cooking, cut the potatoes into 4 pieces give or take depending on how large they are.  Leave the skin on.  Then toss those into the Ninja blender/food processor and dice them too. You may have to readjust the potato chunks as sometimes they are too big.  


Add the potatoes to the onions then add everything but the shredded cheddar.  Simmer everything until soft.  Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.  Add the cheese and half and half then stir until melted.  Serve right away.  Enjoy!

This recipe makes a ton of soup.  I like to make large batches of soup so there is lots left over to freeze.  See My Trick to Freezing Soup for more information.  The recipe can easily be halved if you don't want to end up with so much.
