Peel and dice your potatoes, and chop the onion. In a large pot add everything except the cream cheese. Boil the potatoes untill tender. Once the potatoes are soft enough take a potato smasher and smash some of the potatoes in the pot to release the starches to help thicken the soup. Turn the heat to low and add the cream cheese. Heat through until melted.Serve with biscuits or your favorite rolls and ENJOY!!!
