I just made this a couple of nights ago and family loves it:
Peel and slice 6-8 potatos-dice 1 onion and add to potatos
Boil until tender-drain excess water
Add milk to cover potatoes
Add 1 stick butter and 1 package cream cheese-cutting cream cheese into small chuncks
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook on low heat until cream cheese has melted stirring frequently.
This soup always comes out thick and is a crowd pleaser
