Weight Watchers Creamy Cheese Soup

2 tsp olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3/4 tsp dry mustard
3 c low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne
2 c low-fat (1%) milk (or skim milk)
1 c shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 c grated pecorino cheese (I use low-fat Swiss cheese)

Heat oil in nonstick Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in mustard and cook 1 minute. Add broth, potatoes, salt, and cayenne; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

With fork, coarsley mash about half of vegetables to slightly thicken soup. Stir in milk and bring to simmer. Remove pot from heat. Stir in Cheddar and pecorino (or Swiss) until cheeses melt. Cool. You can easily freeze this soup up to 2 months.
