    Potage Crème de Pommes de Terre et du Fromage

    This is a warming and tasty thick soup recipe with a touch of cream and cheese for a dreamy comforting starter or light meal. The humble potato makes this a very economical dish to make at home.

    A white soup bowl filled with chunky, creamy potato soup with 2 slabs of orange cheese on top on a red gingham tablecloth.

    You can use a good hard swiss cheese but a good cheddar will also be suitable.

    For more potato recipes why not try leek and potato soup or if you want a lovely cool soup for either summer or winter, a delicious vichyssoise is a good choice.
