Cream Cheese Potato Soup "inspired by Panera's"

This soup is awesome. I would have NEVER thought of putting cream cheese in a soup!! A friend of mine made this yesterday for her family and she quadrupled the recipe, and she had NO left overs. (7 people) We both ended up making this because the temps here dropped to single digits and our local grocery store had 8 pound bags of potatoes for .69 cents!!! You won't be disappointed.
"I have made this soup three times now. I've got it cooking on the stove as I type this. It is amazing. I've never been a big fan of potato soup until this recipe. I add about four cloves of minced garlic and use black pepper and cayenne. I only smash about 1/2 of the soup to keep it hardy. I serve it with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar on top with garlic bread on the side. So good on these cold winter evenings!" - Daizyangel28Yield: 5 Ready in 1 hours

Very GOOD soup! Was a hit with my family.

Love this recipe. So easy and had the stuff on hand. I added shredded carrots and shallots. Also crushed only half of the potatoes to enjoy the texture. Great.

Amazing! It was so simple. I took all the potatoes out after cooked and used my mixer in a mixing bowl to smash/blend. Then added back to chicken stock. We also topped with crunchy turkey bacon and it was incredible. Also I used cayen e red pepper and black pepper because its what I ha and it was really good.

It was ok. After all these reviews I was hoping for awesome. Red pepper flakes didn't do much but just add burn. I would try something else if there's a next time.
Also, I don't know if the calorie count is right either, it seems like eating 1/5 package of cream cheese would be higher than that.

Finally a new recipe that is good. This was so delicious...next time i make it im gonna add chicken and broccoli..
|

This soup is so delicious! Taste just like Panera's. I cooked in the crock pot for 4 hrs & added green onions and turkey bacon to the recipe. Also I only pureed 1/4 of the potatos...my hubby and I like hearty soups. He actually went back for seconds!
