Ingredients
-
6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped in large chunks as for mashed potatoes
-
1/2 cup onion, chopped
-
6 tablespoons butter
-
3 ounces cream cheese
-
2 cups milk (approximately depending on type of potato and time cooked)
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
-
fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Add potatoes and onions to boiling water.
- Cook about 15-20 minutes until done.
- Drain and return to pot.
- Lightly mash, leaving it as chunky as you like.
- (I prefer mine fairly smooth with small pieces here and there.) Return pan to medium low heat and add butter, cream cheese and milk, stirring until butter and cream cheese melt.
- Add all other ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally until parmesan cheese is melted.
- Adjust salt and pepper.
- If soup is too thick add more milk and if it is too thin add more cheese.
