Potato Soup

Just like Panera's. From Panera's Cream Cheese Potato Soup.

4 cups chicken broth
6 medium potatoes, cubed
1/4 cup onions, minced
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

1. Boil broth, potatoes, onion, and spices over medium high heat until potatoes are tender. (20 min)
3. Smash several of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening.
4. Cut cream cheese into chucks and add to soup.
5. Cook over low heat until cheese melts, stirring frequently.

Suggestions: I didn't have seasoning salt, so I looked up Judi's Seasoning Salt, which inspired a mixture of salt, garlic powder, Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning, and a dash of sugar. Worked just fine, tasted like seasoning salt. ^_^
