Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained (or fresh/frozen corn)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain any excess water. Add the corn, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the pot. Stir everything together.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to ensure the soup doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Add Cheese: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese to the soup, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.
