Ingredients
Scale
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions
In a large soup pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
Add diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Lightly mash some of the potatoes in the pot using a potato masher or fork to create texture.
Stir in milk, heavy cream, and half of the cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper. Let simmer uncovered for an additional 3-5 minutes before serving.
