Notes
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can use Yukon Gold potatoes instead of Russet potatoes. For extra creaminess, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup before adding cream cheese. Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for 3-4 days.
