Slow Cooker Potato Soup
Soup doesn’t get much easier than making it in the slow cooker, does it? And here we have one of the ultimate comfort food soups made in the slow cooker. I’ve already posted four slow cooker soup recipes this season and they’re quickly becoming my favorite way to make soup so I figured I may as well post another. Potato soup is definitely one of my favorite soups. I make it probably two or three times a month, especially during the winter.

How to Make Crockpot Potato Soup
To a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker, add potatoes, onion, chicken broth, evaporated milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH heat for 3 – 4 hours or LOW heat for 6 – 8 hours, until potatoes are tender. Ladle out 2 cups liquid from soup mixture, set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. While whisking, slowly pour in 2 cups reserved liquid. Pour butter mixture into slow cooker and stir to blend. If desired, mash potatoes with a potato masher to break down into smaller pieces. Cover and cook on HIGH heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Turn heat off (or to warm), stir in sour cream. Serve warm topped with cheddar, bacon and green onions.
Tips for This Recipe
Don’t skip the bacon or cheese. They add lots of flavor. Try it with some ranch dressing in place of sour cream. Check the soup at the earlier time noted, several reviews have commented that they’re soup is coming out more like a puree so some slow cookers cook hot and I’ve adjusted those times.
