POTATO SOUP WITH CREAM CHEESE



Potato Soup with Cream Cheese image

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a creamy texture. However, you can use other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, if you prefer.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this soup, so it is important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not so long that they become mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the soup too thick and starchy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is another important ingredient in this soup, so it is important to use a good quality broth that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.

Conclusion:

This creamy potato and cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and cheesy goodness, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
