Our weather here in Southern California has been a little out of whack. One day it’s freezing cold, and then the next is warm and nice and then the next day it will rain! It’s absolutely bonkers.

I’m okay with the cooler days right now because I know it’s going to heat up soon. Plus, I love cooking comforting meals when it’s cold outside.

I decided to update this Easy Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe because it’s so good and deserved better photos than when I first posted it on here back in October of 2012. My boys love this soup so much. It’s actually my sister Holly’s recipe and she is an awesome cook!

Tips for making the best Easy Cheesy Potato Soup:

1. Cut the potatoes as evenly as possible so they cook equally. Super important or you’ll have soft potatoes AND hard potatoes when you’re cooking this recipe.
2. Use the cheese designated in the recipe notes below to give you the right results. If you want spicy or not spicy, this will make a huge difference!
3. I use the 98% fat free cream of celery soups and light sour cream but feel free to use the full fat versions!
4. Make sure to not boil the soup after the half and half and soups are added, but keep a light simmer.
5. Serve with crumbled bacon, green onions and cheese for a garnish! Or don’t. It’s totally up to you! 😉

This Easy Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe is a cool weather staple in our house. My boys go absolutely crazy for it so no matter what the weather is like, it’s a winner at our house!
