POTATO CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium heat, sauté onions, celery, and carrots in a bit of oil or butter until translucent. Add the garlic at the end, for just a minute, so that it doesn't scorch.
• Add the broth and stir in the seasonings.
• Drop in the peeled chunks of potatoes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, when pierced with a knife (about 20 minutes).
• Use a potato masher to carefully pulverize to a thick consistency - or, if you like it totally smooth, put small batches of it through a blender (seems like overkill for this rustic/casual of a dish, if you ask me, but, hey - knock yourself out!).
• Add the cream cheese in chunks, and stir until melted (patience - don't break the cheese - just go fold a couple loads of laundry, put the dishes away, vacuum, and read a story-book with your kid, then come back to it - it will be perfect). Taste for seasoning (esp. salt). Serve HOT, garnished with some grated extra-sharp cheddar, and some crusty extra sour dough bread - toasted then rubbed with a clove of garlic - and a slice of humble pie for desert.
• Freezes well.
