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!

Ingredients

  • chicken broth: 2 cans (14.5 ounce cans)
  • red potatoes: 4 cups (cubed)
  • onion: 0.25 cup (minced)
  • garlic salt: 0.5 tsp
  • seasoned salt: 0.5 tsp
  • sea salt: 0.5 tsp
  • cayenne pepper: 0.5 tsp
  • basil: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • parsley: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • cream cheese: 1 pack (8 ounce pack, softened)
  • slices smoked bacon: 8 piece (cut into 1/4 inch strips)

  3. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Stir into soup or set aside as a serving garnishment. Heat until ready to serve.
