  2. Season sautéing vegetables with 1 Tbsp. Spike and 2 Tsp. salt stirring as needed.
  3. Add 8 cups water and bring soup to boil and reduce to simmer.
  4. Add 7 ½ cups diced potatoes and simmer for approximately 15 minutes.
  5. Heat 3 cups of water and 8 ounces of cream cheese and when cream cheese is warmed through and softened, whisk together till smooth. Add cream cheese water, 1 Tbsp. Spike to soup and continue simmering until potatoes are cooked through.
