Easy Potato Soup

I tried a new recipe last night from a great little cookbook my aunt gave me for Christmas. Thanks, Jean! It's called Cream Cheese Potato Soup. I had to adapt it a little from the original, but it turned out delicious. It's so easy too, so I thought I'd share. Who isn't looking for quick and easy new recipes? The girls really liked it too.

I put three cups of water in a big pot with three tsp. chicken bouillon. (This made enough for us with leftovers, but it could be easily doubled for bigger groups.) Then I added one package fat free cream cheese and let it dissolve. Next I added one 28 oz. bag of OreIda O'Brien potatoes. These are the cubed ones with chopped onions and peppers. I seasoned it with garlic, salt and pepper. I also added a little cornstarch to milk and thickened it a bit, but it wasn't too runny without that. The recipe also calls for cubed ham. I would have added it, but didn't have any. Hope you enjoy!
