This is the Southern Living recipe that is great.

Ingredients
4 pounds new potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
1 small onion, chopped.
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth.
2 teaspoons salt.
1/2 teaspoon pepper.
1 pint half-and-half.
Toppings: shredded Cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onion slices.

Cook everything except half and half until done and potatoes are falling apart. I will use a potato masher to make into smaller pieces. Add half and half and warm. Top with topping before serving.

EEEEEEEK, that much salt is a danger. Talk with a dietician who knows. Canadian government is coming up with a plan for food producers to put warnings on their products. "Cans" of anything are heavily loaded with salt.

:C

Instead of cans of broth, I would replace with Campbells sodium reduced broth in the tetra pack. Think I will try this recipe on the weekend. I bought broth today.

I made some recently that was delish..usual potatoes, onions, seasoning salt cooked in chicken broth, used stick blender then stirred in 8oz softened low fat cream cheese. Serve with crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. It also freezes well..will separate but does re-blend..just heat slowly and don't boil. Don't use fat free cream cheese..I used Neuchatel.
