Simplest Cheesy Potato Soup

1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
1/3 cup chopped onions
1/3 cup chopped celery
4 cups diced peeled potatoes
3 cups chicken broth (NOTE, use vegetable broth to make this vegetarian)
2 cups shredded semisoft cheese (I recommend cheddar jack or colby jack)
2 cups 2% low-fat milk
herbs or spices

1. In a heavy pot, heat oil or melt butter, and saute onion and
celery until soft.
2. Add potatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Then simmer covered
for 10-15 minutes.
3. Puree in a blender, or with an immersion blender until smooth.
4. Return soup to pan, stir in cheese, milk and seasonings. Cook
over low heat until cheese is melted.
5. Garnish with chopped chives, bacon crumbles, or your favorite
topping.
