  2. Sauté over medium heat, onions and celery in margarine or butter just until tender and add the to the pot.
  3. 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.
  4. Add instant potatoes to pot and stir until dissolved.
  5. Add sour cream to pot and stir.
