Cream Cheese Potato Soup

I am such a fan of soups. Issue is, I live where it is hot all year round as well as being a lazy person in general when it comes to the kitchen. I am not a fan of cooking… and then the clean up afterwards!

So I was checking out others blogs and one posted a share of someones Cream Cheese Potato Soup and I HAD to make it. Thing is, I tweaked it and made it my own. I changed up the recipe as usual. I am not one to keep to a recipe, unless of course it’s cookies!

Back to the story: I got home and decided to make this soup. Reason I changed it up was because I also didn’t have the exact amount of the ingredients needed, so I made do with what I had in the kitchen. Also, I took out the ham part as I keep a Kosher diet, but for anyone who wants, you can add any ham or meat/poultry in it!

Let me just say, it turned out AMAZING! Even my 1 year old loved it that when she took her first bite, she was shimmying in her high chair which means it taste good!

So this Cream Cheese Potato Soup is a mix of Gold/Yellow Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes. Why? I didn’t have enough of the regular potatoes so I used some sweet potatoes I had. I was actually quite nervous it would have a sweet flavor, but to be honest, it didn’t!

So I started chopping while I let the broth get to a boil and then added the cream cheese and stirred until it melted. From there, I just dumped in the rest of the ingredients. To be honest, this is the easiest soup recipe I have ever made as well as so, so FLAVORFUL!

Once everything is in the pot, you just let it sit for about a half hour or until the potatoes are soft. Then you take those handheld blender thing-a-magigers and do some szhooszhing until it’s nice and creamy.

And once that is done, you make yourself a bowl and enjoy its yumminess! To be honest, I think this is the best soup I have made, but that could be because I like any creamy soup!

Not gonna keep you waiting any longer for this easy recipe, so here it is:
