Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use milk or cream instead of water?
A: While you can use milk or cream, it will result in a much richer and thicker soup. Water allows the potato flavor to shine through and keeps it lighter.
Q: Can I add other vegetables?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to add carrots, celery, or leeks for extra flavor and nutrition.
Q: Can this soup be made ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can make it a day ahead and reheat it gently. The soup may thicken as it sits, so you may need to add a little extra water or broth when reheating.
Q: Is this soup freezable?
A: While it can be frozen, the texture may change slightly. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
Q: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A: While Velveeta provides the signature creamy texture, you could experiment with other melting cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack. Keep in mind the flavor and texture will be different.
