- Pour 5 cups vegetable stock into the stockpot; add the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook the mixture at a simmer 20 minutes.
- Set aside 1 cup of vegetable mixture. Use immersion blender in the stockpot to puree the rest. Return saved mixture to pot.
- Stir the green onion and heavy cream through the puree; continue cooking another 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper; top with Cheddar cheese to serve.
