Preparation
In large pot, melt butter over medium heat; cook garlic, onion and celery stirring for 3 to 5 min or until onion is softened. Add potatoes and chicken stock; bring to boil, over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10 to15 min or until potatoes are tender.
In a blender, in a food processor or with an immersion blender, puree until smooth; return to pot, if necessary. Stir in cheese and sour cream; heat over low heat until cheese melts.
Spoon 1 tbsp (15 mL) cranberry sauce in center of each shallow bowl and ladle soup around cranberries, not covering so it appears as an eyeball. Serve immediately.
Tips
