Note

Note: The ingredient list mentions potatoes and onions but the directions mention carrots. Ensure you have carrots on hand if following the directions as written, or omit them if strictly using the listed ingredients.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of stock if the soup has thickened.

Tip: For a smoother texture, you can also use an immersion blender directly in the pot before adding the cheese.
