Panera Bread's Creamy Potato Soup image

I've never been to Panera Bread, so I couldn't tell you if this is similar. I can tell you it's delicious and simple to make. I didn't have bacon, but it's still delicious even without. I topped mine with cheese and left the skin on my potatoes. Recipe courtesy of Lynn's Kitchen Adventures (she found a copy cat version of the recipe and tweaked it to her liking). YUMMY! Serving size is estimated.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups chicken broth
6 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
8 ounces cream cheese (cut into chunks, at room temperature)
4 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)

Steps:

  • Combine broth, potatoes, and spices.
  • Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender.
  • Smash a few potatoes to release the starch for thickening.
  • If you like it chunky just smash a small amount of potato, but if you want it smooth smash more potatoes.

  • Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.
  • Ladle into bowls.
  • Sprinkle a little bacon over each bowl of soup.
