- 3/4 cup (3oz) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 green onions, sliced
Directions
In 4-quart saucepan, cook onion, celery and carrot in oil over medium-high heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and add garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add broth, potatoes, hot sauce, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 10 minutes, adding beans and 1/2 cup of the cheese last 2 minutes. Cook until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted. For thick creamy soup, place 3 cups of soup into blender. Cover and place folded kitchen towel over lid. Carefully blend and return to saucepan. Garnish individual servings with green onion and remaining cheese.
Tip: For a vegan option, omit the cheese. You can also use an immersion blender in place of a standard blender. Do not remove 3 cups. Simply blend entire recipe with immersion blender until part of the soup is smooth and creamy.
