Potato Cheddar Soup




This soup was very easy with basic ingredients in your pantry.  What a comforting supper to come home to in the crockpot.  Next time I would probably put in a bit of Velveeta for a bit cheesier taste, but it was good.  It's also quite low in calories!



Potato Cheddar Soup

Ingredients:
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
3/4 cup chopped carrots
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups water
1 tablespoon chicken base*
1 cup half and half
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:
Place potatoes, carrots, onion, water, and chicken base in greased 3 quart crockpot.  Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours until vegetables are tender.
Stir in half and half and pepper then cook 15 minutes more.  Stir in cheese until melted and serve.

*If you don't use chicken base or have it on hand, omit the water and chicken base and use 3 cups of chicken broth.
