Potato Cheddar Cheese Soup

The evaporated milk is what makes this soup creamy. For maximum flavor, use aged cheddar cheese.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Spray a non-stick saucepan with cooking oil, add the vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion; cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

2. Transfer to a food processor or blender and purée, working in batches if necessary. Return the puréed soup to the saucepan.

3. Reserve 2 Tbsp of the cheese. Stir the remaining cheese, milk, mustard, salt and pepper into the soup. Simmer for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Garnish each bowl with parsley and a sprinkle of the reserved cheese.
