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.

PANERA'S CREAM CHEESE POTATO SOUP
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cream cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes. These potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are creamy and have a mild flavor. They also hold their shape well when cooked.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of texture. Cook them until they are just fork-tender.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Look for a chicken broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, onion powder, or dried thyme.
- Serve the soup hot. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese potato soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite way to enjoy this soup.
