Wisconsin Potato Cheese Soup


This recipe came from a family member living in Wisconsin for inclusion in "Our German Family Favorites Cook Book" published in the early 90s. 

It can be made without Gruyere cheese, using only Cheddar.  Ingredients are usually on hand in any cook's kitchen, and offer many tasty servings for very little cost.
