re: Post your favorite soup recipe

Creamy potato and Tasso soup

2 qts chicken stock
2 bricks of Philadelphia cream cheese cubes
8 medium potatoes peeled and diced
2lb Tasso cubed
1tsp seasoning salt
1/2tsp white pepper
1/4tsp cayenne
1tsp garlic powder

Boil broth and melt cream cheese. It must be philly cream cheese. You need to keep it on a hard rolling boil until the cheese is melted completely. It will not completely immulsify at a simmer. Once cheese melted, add potatoes and boil until soft. Remove some and smash to thicken soup as desired. Add Tasso and spices and simmer for a couple of hours.
