UPDATE - Yes, I misspelled O’Charley’s on this post. But I decided to leave it because it is getting quite a few visitors. So, apparently, I am not the only one who spells it the wrong way. If you like, you can view the correctly spelled post at O’Charley’s Loaded Potato Soup. The 2 posts and recipes are exactly the same except for the spelling.

Hello, I Love your website. I have a question about O’charlies baked potato restaurant Soup. I cannot eat Velveeta Cheese. Is there a cheese that will not be oily or is there anything I can do to not have it be Oily? do I need to omit any other ingredients if not using velveeta cheese. also how much cheese would I use compared to velveeta.
Thank You
Thank you for the comment.
Wow. I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I can answer that question. I don’t feel comfortable telling you what to substitute if you are allergic or have a medical problem.
I have made this soup a couple of times — but to be honest, I use sharp cheddar cheese. I just like the taste better than Velveeta. It may not be exactly like O’Charlie’s — but that’s not what I am after.
While real cheese probably isn’t as oily as Velveeta, I think all cheese would be a bit oily. It’s all made with milk after all.
Good luck and thanks for reading.
