- Sauté over medium heat, onions and celery in margarine or butter just until tender and add the to the pot.



- After potatoes are really fork tender (may need to taste one), melt the cheese in the microwave or a sauce pan following package directions. (I cube it and microwave 1 min. stir, 1 min. stir and 1 min. more and stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up if necessary). Add to pot and stir.

- Add instant potatoes to pot and stir until dissolved.

- Add sour cream to pot and stir.

- Add salt and pepper to taste and let the soup thicken by simmering over low heat, probably ~10 mins depending on the amount of extra water added.
