Vitamix Potato Cheddar Soup

With the quarantine in effect we are 100% cooking at home.  We've been playing around with the Vitamix and decided to try their potato cheddar soup.  We made some adjustments and added Slavo Salt (of course) and were really surprised at how great it turned out. Pro tip - soup is ALWAYS better on day 2 so make a couple batches to have throughout the week.  Stay safe and healthy, friends.
