7-8 C chicken broth (less broth will result in a thicker soup)
8 C peeled and cubed potatoes
1/2 C minced onions (I use fresh)
1 t salt
1/4 t ground black pepper
1/8 t cayenne pepper (optional)
1 8oz pkg cream cheese, cut into chunks
Combine potatoes, broth, onion and spices. Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender. Smash a few of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening. Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese. Stir until cheese melts.
*Good if you add 1 C frozen petite peas, fun color and a little more nutrition!
**My kids love this soup, but don't prefer the cayenne. The recipe originated as a copy of "Panera's" potato soup, but they use white pepper and double the cream cheese. I adapted it to be a little lower fat and kid friendly. Tru's FAVE!
