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.

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

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