  • Step 2: Add half and half (or canned milk) and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. In a small cup, mix cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup, and bring to a boil to thicken. Thickness of the soup will depend on starchiness of potato. When soup reaches desired thickness, reduce heat to simmering and add cream cheese and butter. Thoroughly melt cheese and whisk till smooth. Serve.
