What to do with that bag of potatoes in the pantry

Who loves good comfort food?  I mean, get real, Who DOESN'T love good comfort food???  I made this a while ago when I made this other yummy soup.  The way this weather year is going, you might need another easy recipe up your sleeve. 


Ingredients:
5 lb. potatoes (washed, not peeled), diced into 1\2 cubes
1 med onion, diced
10 garlic gloves (jarred=5t)
8 C chicken broth
16 oz cream cheese (softened)
1t seasoned salt
Garnishes-bacon, cheese, chives

Directions:
1. Add potatoes, onions, garlic, seasoning salt, and chicken stock to crock pot.
2. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10 hours.
3. Add softened cream cheese and puree soup until cheese is incorporated.  (Depending on how soupy you like your soup, add more or less broth to puree.)
4. Stir well--top with your choice of garnishes.  

Enjoy!
