cream cheese potato soup

hi! i know that its been soooo long since the last time that i posted but things have been hectic around the camacho household and i feel that i was out of my cooking groove for a while there (where nothing seemed to turn out well at all... for like months lol)

 anyways, i'm back and i'm posting this great soup. i made this recently for my hubby when he was sick and everyone in my family gobbled it up! the only problem was that there wasn't any leftovers!

cream cheese potato soup
from http://www.crumbsandchaos.net/2010/11/cream-cheese-potato-soup/

4 cups CHICKEN BROTH
4 cups RED POTATOES, cubed (i didn't peel them but feel free to)
1/4 cup MINCED ONION
1/2 tsp SEASONING SALT
1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER
1/4 tsp CAYENNE PEPPER
8 ounces 1/3 LESS FAT CREAM CHEESE, cut into chunks
BACON CRUMBLES
CHEDDAR CHEESE

Combine potatoes, broth, onion, and spices in a large pot.  Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender.  
Take about a cup of potatoes out and set aside. Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth.  Then pour the potatoes back in the pan.

When it is all returned to the pan, reduce the heat to low.  Add the cream cheese, and heat low and slow, stirring frequently, until it melts.  Serve topped with cheddar cheese and bacon pieces.
