" Crock Pot " Cheesy Potato Soup

 This easy, cheesy potato soup recipe is the perfect comfort dish for those chilly winter months or anytime you’re craving something delicious!

 Ingredients :

• 6 large  peeled, Yukon Gold potatoes cut in 1/2 -inch cubes
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 4-6 cups cups chicken broth
• 1 cup cold milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ cup heavy cream or half and half
• 1 pound Velveeta Cheese, cut into chunks
• Bacon, fried and crumbled, optional
• green onions, optional

 

Method:

1. Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and the chicken broth to a 4 quart or larger Crock Pot, stir and cook on high for about 3 ½ hours OR  6-8 HOURS ON LOW, until potatoes are completely cooked and fork tender.
   
2. At the end of the cooking time in step 1, whisk the 3 tablespoons of flour into the 1 cup of cold milk until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the potatoes, add the ½ cup heavy cream, stir then cover and cook for another 30 minutes. Add the chunks of cheese and allow to melt. Garnish with bacon and green onions.

 

 Notes :

Note: This recipe calls for 4 cups of chicken broth. You can add another cup at the end if you find the soup is too thick for your liking. If you’re shopping for a slow cooker, this one is my favorite.
