Description: This is a great soup for a cold day. You can use lower fat cream cheese and milk to cut fat and calories or make it very rich and use heavy cream if you are splurging a bit.
Ingredients:
4 cups chicken stock
4 cups potatos peeled and chopped
1/4 cup celery chopped fine
1/4 cup onion chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese cut into chunks
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes and cut them as well as the other vegetables into small bite size chunks.
Instructions:
In a soup pot combine the chicken stock, potatoes, onion, celery and spices.
Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender.
Remove and mash about a half a cup of the potatoes then return them to the pot to thicken the broth.
Reduce to low heat.
Add cream cheese and milk stirring well, until the cheese melts.
Must be too hot? I love soup as well. I just made Emeril's Carrot Soup and it is delicious. Today he featured three soups and I printed them all out. I'm a big soup fan and his recipes are THE best for soup.
