Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onion
3 cups chicken broth
2.5 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1.75 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream
0.25 teaspoon dried dill weed
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.125 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Method

Place the butter in a large pot to melt. Cook the diced onion, stirring, until it becomes soft. Pour in the chicken broth and add the potatoes, then bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup contents until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender or food processor to blend. Return the soup to the pot and warm it through.
Add the shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, heavy cream, dried dill weed, ground black pepper, salt, and ground cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir continuously and bring the soup to a low boil. Keep cooking and stirring for about 5 minutes until the soup thickens.
