Cheesiest Potato Soup

We were in a pinch for something quick the other day. Soup sounded really good because it was so cold out. I was a little worried it wouldn't taste right b/c we didn't have as much cheese as I thought we did.......and after I pureed everything it didn't look appetizing. It was very good though and all 3 kids inhaled it!!
