4 Ingredient Potato Soup
This easy 4-ingredient potato soup is creamy, comforting, and comes together with just russet potatoes, milk, cheddar cheese, and green onions—perfect for a quick, budget-friendly meal.
Equipment
- Large pot
- Potato masher or fork
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 3 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1″ pieces

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 green onions, chopped (green parts only)
- 1 tsp garlic salt (optional)

Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water to just cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.

- Ladle soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese and green onions. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
