How to Make Meal Prep Potato Soup

To make this meal prep potato soup, you’ll need a few simple ingredients: potatoes, onions, vegetable broth, milk, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes. Next, sauté the diced onions in a large pot until they become soft and translucent, which will bring out their natural sweetness. Add the potatoes and vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Once the potatoes are cooked through, use a blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. This step helps create the creamy base that defines this soup. Return the soup to the pot, and stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and everything to come together into a velvety texture.

After a quick stir, your creamy potato soup is ready! You can store it in meal prep containers and refrigerate it for up to a week, making it a perfect meal for busy days. This soup also freezes well, so feel free to make a larger batch to have a hearty meal on hand at any time.
