A Warm Delight

Need a delicious recipe on these cold days to warm you up?  I always look recipes up on allrecipes.com and find the best ones!  They have an iphone app which is very convenient!  I usually alternate the recipes a little to my liking.  The recipe I'm about to share is based off of this one.

The Best Potato Soup Ever

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup diced onions

3-4 cups peeled and diced potatoes

2 1/2-3 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Cook onion in butter until softened.

2.  Stir in potatoes and broth.  Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

3.  Remove pan from heat and use a fork to mash the potatoes leaving a few chucks for texture.  Pour mixture into a pot and return to medium heat.  Stir in the cream, cheese, dill, pepper, salt and cayenne.  Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring until thickened.

4.  Serve in a bread bowl or with some delicious mountain bread!  Enjoy!
