For a creamy and smooth soup, use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes. This will help to remove any lumps.
If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. You can use a sharp cheddar, a mild cheddar, or a combination of cheeses.
If you like a thicker soup, you can add more cheese or cornstarch. Just be sure to stir constantly so that the cheese doesn't clump.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
