POTATO SOUP WITH CREAM CHEESE
This is a family favorite throughout the fall and winter! It's easy to prep and great for a lazy day, filling the house with aroma. Have extended family and guests? Simply double the quantity of each item. It's that easy! I derived the potato soup with cream cheese base compliments of Panera Bread®. I added a few extras over time to appeal to the whole family. This a well balanced, full-flavored soup, with a hint of trailing heat compliments of cayenne. If you have picky "little" ones you can substitute red pepper flakes as a side garnishment. Serve with sharp shredded cheese and a loaf a fresh beer bread!

CREAM CHEESE POTATO SOUP
"I came up with this soup after I had tried something similar at a restaurant," explains Stacy Bockelman, California, Missouri. "Using chicken bouillon and frozen hash browns makes it easy to fix. It's good with sourdough bread," she adds. It's also good for your pocketbook at only 47 cents a bowl.

Steps:
- Cut potatoes into quarters. Cut sweet onion into eighths. Transfer both to a large stockpot.
- Place the stockpot over medium-high heat and add water, chicken broth, green onions, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, hot pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon white pepper, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
- While the soup is cooling, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop into bits when cooled. Reserve bacon grease.
- Remove 4 cups potato stock and set aside. Working in batches, puree some potatoes and onions in a food processor with some of the liquid; transfer to a slow cooker. Repeat until all potatoes and onions have been pureed. Turn the slow cooker to High.
- Transfer the reserved potato stock to a separate pot and place over medium-low heat until warm, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in sour cream until no lumps remain.
- Combine reserved bacon grease and butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to make a roux. Increase heat to high and slowly add potato stock-sour cream mixture. Whisk to prevent lumping and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce to a slow simmer and cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour into the slow cooker and add the reserved bacon.
- Cook on High for 1 hour. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Reduce heat to Low and cook for 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

CREAM CHEESE CORN AND POTATO SOUP
Always trying to put together recipes that my meat-loving and my vegetarian students will both like. I was quickly making some cornbread that needed creamed corn. By the time it was in the oven and I was cleaning up did I realize that I had an open unused can of creamed corn. Don't usually like using processed item, but sometimes it just works! Came up with this mixture as a trial.

- Combine broth, potatoes, onion, and spices. Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender. Smash a few of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening. Reduce to low heat. Add cream cheese. Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.
Tips:
- Use a good quality potato: Russet potatoes are a good choice for this soup, as they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a smooth and creamy soup.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the soup gluey.
- Use a good quality cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese will give the soup a rich and creamy flavor. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, as it will make the soup watery.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cream cheese potato soup include chives, bacon bits, and shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
