Cheesiest Potato Soup

Cream and sharp Cheddar are added to pureed potatoes and seasoned with
dill and cayenne for a creamy, thick meal.

2 tablespoons butter

2 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 3/4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (strong)
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Cook onion in butter
until softened. Stir in potatoes and broth, bring to a boil, then cover,
reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Puree potato mixture in a blender or food processor or using an immersion
blender; return to pot over medium heat. Stir in cream, cheese, dill,
