Ingredients
- 5 potatoes, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 processed cheese portions (about 200 g total)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Bread for croutons (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a pot and sauté the vegetables until nearly done. Add hot water to just cover.
- Bring to a boil, add the processed cheese, and rest 2 minutes. Blend with an immersion blender until silky.
- Serve with homemade oven croutons or a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.
Tips
Blend in batches if needed for an extra-smooth texture, and season at the end so the cheese flavor stays balanced. For extra crunch, bake croutons until deeply golden and add them just before serving. For general soup-blending guidance, see Serious Eats.
