cheesy potato soup
4 C chicken (vegetable, beef, whatever) broth
2 medium-sized potatoes (I used a couple handfulls of fingerlings, so I'm not sure what that translates to)
1 smallish onion
some amount of milk
some amount of heavy cream
~2 tblspoons butter (or more, or less. whatever, it's up to you)
~2 C cheese (I used cheddar, it was yummy)
3 cloves garlic (more or less, depending on your love of the garlic)
salt and paper, paprika, cayanne pepper, or whatever spices you feel like
cube the potatoes into fairly small pieces and boil them in the broth until mashable. you may want to peel them first if they have a thick skin, but you don't have to. Mash them in the pot and add everything else as you see fit. I didn't measure the milk or the cream, I just added it until it looked about right. It was the same with the cheese, really. Though, if you're using a stronger cheese, you may want to add less (but then, I'm not very partial to strong cheeses, so you may want to add more. It's your soup, do what you want). If you find that it's not thick enough for your tastes, add a bit of flour. sprinkle it in a teaspoon at a time.
