Potato Beer Cheese Soup

• 2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and cubed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cups water
• 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
• 1 cup beer or chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salad croutons, crumbled cooked bacon, minced chives and coarsely ground pepper, optional

1. Place the potatoes, onion and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; cool slightly (do not drain). In a blender, cover and process mixture in batches until smooth. Return all to the pan and heat through.
2. Stir in the milk, beer, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon, salt, mustard and white pepper; heat through. Stir in cheese just until melted. If desired, top with croutons, bacon, chives and/or pepper.
