How To Make potato chipotle cheddar soup

  • Step 1
    Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Stir in pepper and cumin and cook about 30 seconds.
  • Step 3
    Add potatoes and broth. Cover pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are soft and falling apart, about 10-15 minutes. Add chipotle and remove from heat.
  • Step 4
    Working in batches, transfer several cups of potato mixture to blender and puree. Return soup to pan and stir in cheese. Bring back to heat and cook until cheese melts.
  • Step 5
    Serve topped with green onions (or chives) and crumbled bacon.
