Hubby and I make this soup a lot – an awful lot. Hubby first made this copycat soup recipe Christmas Eve 2010, and he has made it every Christmas Eve since, as well as a many times in between the holiday. This is one fabulous soup. Everyone that has this Panera Cream Cheese Soup not only wants seconds, but the recipe too!

Copycat Panera’s Cream Cheese Potato Soup Recipe

Notes:

• I strongly urge you to use yellow Yukon gold potatoes if only for the visual appeal. I don’t notice a huge taste difference, but the yellow potatoes do look nicer.

• This is one of the easiest soups you will ever make. When we make double and triple recipes, Hubby uses his immersion blender and a huge pot!

• This recipe freezes beautifully.

• That’s it on the notes – Hubby’s been making this for 8+ years now, and it is one of my three favorite soups, and by far the simplest to make!
