Love it! I really liked the flavored cream cheese; I used half of an 8 oz tub of light onion and chive. I blended a portion of the soup (just my preference). This was just the thing for a cold snowy day. I'll make this again.....and double it! Thanx for sharing.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I've made this soup several times using both butter and olive oil. Each time I make it the pot gets finished in short order. The kids really like it. When using olive oil the soup doesn't get thick so for a thick soup butter is really the only way to go.
