You'll be surprised at the taste of this rich and cheesy easy potato soup. It really is the best potato soup recipe, ever.

Great side to have with any grilling out you might do. I came up with this while I was in my law enforcement classes. It was served up to my classmates at a cook out we had. Two other potato salads were made as well. Mine was the only one that went home empty. This is halfed from the original recipe, it is very easy to double or triple for large gatherings.
