Creamy Potato Soup

Dice/cube 4-5 potatoes, place in large pot
Add about 6 cups of broth (I use veggie) in pot
Boil until potatoes get soft (15 - 20 minutes), mash some of the pieces to thicken broth
Stir in 12 - 16 oz of cream cheese
Add 1-2 cups of frozen or (even  better) fresh corn kernels.
Salt and pepper to taste


What makes this soup extra awesome it topping it with freshly cooked crumbled bacon, chives/green onions, cheddar cheese, etc

'Tis the season to eat soup

We've been souping it up lately and loving it, mostly.  A pretty bowl (key) a side of delicious crusty bread, goat butter, and you've got a super cozy dinner.

Tonight I used this recipe for White Bean and Turkey chili, perfect for the pile o' turkey we are sludging through this week:

Thanksgiving cocktails anyone?

What are we making this week?  I'm looking to add something to my sad little alcohol collection.  What is your must have alcohol for fun fancy holiday cocktails? 

P.S. No need to incorporate squash in this one
