Tasty Tuesday Recipe - Panera Potato Soup

I came across this recipe a few months ago and it has been a staple in my house ever since.  It tastes just like Panera Bread's Potato Soup and is so easy to make.  We add shredded cheese, pieces of bacon and scallions as a topper.  You must try it....it is the best potato soup recipe I have ever come across.  Believe me I have tried a bunch!

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into chunks

Directions:

1. 1
   Combine broth, potatoes, onion, and spices.
2. 2
   Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender.
3. 3
   Smash a few of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening.
4. 4
   Reduce to low heat.
5. 5
   Add cream cheese.
6. 6
   Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.

All in All:  This recipe is yummy and cheap!  Serve along side your favorite sandwich and you have a great meal!  Can't beat that!
