Cook Low & Slow: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Finish with Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy this creamy, hearty, and flavorful dish with a side of crusty bread or crackers!
Tips & Variations:
✔ Add Veggies: Feel free to add frozen peas, corn, or carrots for extra flavor and nutrition!

✔ Thicken it Up: For an even creamier soup, blend a portion of the soup before adding the cheese.
