Yummy Potato Soup

So I have the yummiest recipe for potato soup. Seriously. :) I just have to share.

7(ish) potatoes, diced

1-2 cups shredded carrots

2 cans chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream (I used whole milk)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp basil

1 TBSP garlic powder

precooked ham or bacon (optional)

8 oz cream cheese (i used the blocked of cream cheese and cubed it)

Put all ingredients EXCEPT cream cheese into a pot and bring to a boil, then cover and turn to low and let simmer for 2 hours or so. Then cut up the cream cheese and toss it in and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.Serve with crumbled bacon or shredded cheese. It would be delicious with homemade bread. Yummo.

*I've also made this in the crockpot and i just put it in for about 5 hours on low and then add cream cheese and continue to cook for like 30-45 minutes. Super easy.*

I didn't take a picture but maybe I will the next time I make it. It is so so so good. I love it.
