Panera's Cream Cheese Potato Soup

Yes, another recipe. This recipe appeared on the back of my ward's Relief Society bulletin last Sunday, and I happened to have the ingredients to make it that day. (I actually only had 4 oz. of cream cheese so I cut the recipe in half, which was perfect for me, Duncan and Diannah as a first course.) We really liked it. In fact, Duncan said, "Now this has flavor." I guess he wasn't crazy about the last potato soup I made.

4 cups chicken broth
4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into chunks

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.
