2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon bacon drippings
3/4 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced celery
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or 4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups mashed potatoes, leftover

4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (sharp is best)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or Kosher Salt)
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • If you don't have any leftover mashed potatoes, you can make some fresh for the soup. Just peel and boil some potatoes, then mash them with butter, milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or onion. This will give the soup more flavor and nutrition.
  • If you want a thicker soup, add more mashed potatoes or a cornstarch slurry. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, then stirring it into the soup.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, shredded cheese, or chopped bacon.
