RECIPE

CROCK POT CHEESY POTATO SOUP RECIPE

YIELD: 6-8 SERVINGS

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
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 to 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

DIRECTIONS:

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  about 6 hours on low.

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 or until potatoes are tender. Add the chunks of cheese and allow to melt. Garnish with bacon and green onions.

Note: This recipe calls for 4-6 cups of chicken broth. This really depends on if you like a very thick soup or a slightly thinner soup. Adjust this to fit your preference! I like mine closer to 6 cups.
