With just a few basic ingredients, you can create this amazing and comforting cheddar baked potato soup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk of choice (I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk because we always have it on-hand)
- 2 medium russet potatoes, baked with skin on, loosely chopped
- 2 blue containers (21 Day Fix®) of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced and sautéed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons organic butter
- sea salt & black pepper to taste (I go heavy on the pepper because it's so yummy with potatoes!)
Instructions
- Add milk, one potato, cheese, onion, garlic powder, butter, sea salt and pepper to Vitamix. Secure lid. Don't have a professional blender? No worries! Skip to step #5 now.
- Select Hot Soups program, press start and allow blender to complete full cycle.
- Select variable 2, remove lid and press start. Add remaining potato and blend just for 3 - 5 seconds. If you blend any longer, you won't have any yummy chunks of potato left in your soup. 🙂 Mmm potato chunks.
- Garnish and serving piping hot!
- No professional blender? No worries. Add milk, one potato, cheese, onion, garlic powder, butter, sea salt and pepper to medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until cheese is melted and soup is hot, but not boiling. Stirring constantly.
- Pour mixture into blender, secure lid and blend until smooth (or carefully use an immersion blender in the saucepan). Return to saucepan.
- Dice remaining potato into small, bite-size pieces. Add potato to saucepan.
- Heat and stir over low heat. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Divide into four equal servings. Put in your belly.
21 Day Fix per serving
- 1 yellow
- 1/2 blue
- 1 teaspoon
- 4 oz milk (Varies based on your personal milk selection. See page 38 of the 21 Day Fix® Eating Plan.)
Delicious tip
- Top with crumbled turkey bacon, green onions or cheddar cheese. Feeling feisty today? Add some chili powder to boost the flavor level.

Just made this and added in four green containers of kale and….it was delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Oooh, great idea!! Thanks for sharing, Amanda!
What is the size per serving?
So what I do is make it in the blender. Then I just look at the measurement on the side of the blender and divide that by four (4 servings). Pour out each serving and voila!
If you are making it on the stove, you can either pour it out to measure it, or just ladle out four equal servings/bowls. Serving size will vary a bit with the size of your potatoes and if you add more or less of the milk depending on how thick you like yours.
Made this last night and it was so good!!!!
So glad you liked it, Jen!
I love this! I decided to steam the diced potatoes a little before I added them back to the soup. They cooked faster. Very yummy!
Ooh, great idea! So glad yo liked it!
If I wanted to double this recipe would I put 2 potatoes in at first then the other two?
I quadrupled it bc my husband will eat half of my food.
I am eating this right now and can’t believe how good it turned out! Topped with 1 piece of turkey bacon and green onion. Thanks for the great recipe!
You’re welcome, Susan! Enjoy!
how do you account for the butter? I didn’t see butter on the approved list?
Organic butter = teaspoon. Autumn mentioned it in a video https://www.fromforkstofitness.com/21-day-fix/21-day-fix-tips-tricks/
Just made this- followed directions exactly- SO Good! But how big is a serving size?
I did 1 cup servings. Most servings of soup are about 1 cup. I just started 21 day fix and it’s hard to believe you can loose weight eating this soup!
Can you use yellow potatoes instead of the russet?
Absolutely!
2nd recipe I have tried of yours today, delicious!!!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
