For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality vegetable broth. If you prefer a completely smooth soup, use an immersion blender to puree the soup after the potatoes are tender. Be careful when blending hot liquids. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. A sharp cheddar or a blend of cheeses would also work well. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your liking. You can also use other hot sauces or a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat. Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Dec 8, 2024I substituted the skim milk with unsweetened almond milk, and it tasted just as good! Great recipe for those with dairy sensitivities.

Aug 29, 2024The hot sauce adds just the right amount of spice. I used a little less for my kids, but I added extra to my own bowl!
