Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 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.
  2. Add the broth and stir in the seasonings.
  3. Drop in the peeled chunks of potatoes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, when pierced with a knife (about 20 minutes).
  4. 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!).
  5. 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.
  6. Freezes well.
