For an even richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for warmth. If you like a smoky flavor, try adding a 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
A symphony of flavors awaits in this creamy and comforting potato cheese soup, where earthy potatoes dance with sweet onions, savory mushrooms, and a vibrant blend of colorful peppers, all harmonized by the nutty richness of Asiago cheese. Prepare to be enchanted!
In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the sliced potatoes, onions, and chicken broth. (2 minutes)
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. (12 minutes)
Carefully transfer the soup to a blender. Secure the lid tightly and blend until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
Return the blended soup to the saucepan. Stir in the milk, sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, and chopped green onions. (2 minutes)
Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened. (7 minutes)
Reduce heat to low and add the freshly grated Asiago cheese, a few tablespoons at a time, stirring continually until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
Season the soup with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)
Ladle the Potato Cheese Calico Soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. (1 minute)
For an even richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for warmth. If you like a smoky flavor, try adding a 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

May 24, 2025My kids loved it! I omitted the mushrooms because they are picky eaters, and it was still a hit.
