Copy Cat Panera Bread Potato Soup

Good Morning everyone! I have an excellent recipe to share with you. So excellent, in fact, last time I made it Tae said, and I quote, “I want to have this every night, mommy!” If my dinner-hater little boy loved it, then it’s a winner. Trust me.

Here’s the Panera Bread potato soup recipe written out:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 2 cloves of garlic
• ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
• ½ teaspoon of paprika
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper (I leave this out, but great if you like more spicy!)

Instructions:

1. Combine broth, potatoes, garlic, and spices.
2. Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender.
3. Smash a few of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening.
4. Reduce to low heat.
5. Add cream cheese.
6. Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.
