Tips:

For a creamy soup, use a high-quality cheddar cheese that melts well, such as sharp cheddar or extra-sharp cheddar.
To make the soup extra flavorful, use a combination of yellow and white cheddar cheeses.
If you don't have any russet potatoes on hand, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes instead.
To save time, you can use pre-shredded cheese.
If you like a chunky soup, dice the potatoes into larger pieces.
For a smoother soup, puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
Garnish the soup with chopped fresh chives, green onions, or parsley before serving.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
