PANERA'S CREAM CHEESE POTATO SOUP



Panera's Cream Cheese Potato Soup image

This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It's a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work.
