Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe aka Queso Soup: Creamy, cheesy potato soup with a spicy kick. Ever wanted to eat Queso with a spoon, now you can!

I firmly believe we can live on Queso alone!

It’s the first thing I dive into at my favorite Mexican restaurant, and often the last thing I munch on before going to bed. I can’t get enough!

What do you mean chips and dip is not an acceptable dinner? 🙁 I’ll make it one! This Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe is so creamy and flavorful. Best of all it tastes just like your favorite queso dip.
