Add the potatoes and cook for another couple of mins. Add the water and bring to a boil. Add the milk and reduce the heat. Cook on low flame until the mixture has reduced and everything is soft.
Blend the mixture and strain through a sieve. Season the soup one last time and add the cheddar and stir around.

Notes
You don’t need to strain the mixture but I prefer the texture.
Ensure to cook the mixture until soft, this will help blend it until smooth.
