All-Day-Long Potato Soup

Directions

Place the first six ingredients in your slow cooker and cook all day on the low setting.

About ½ to one hour before serving; add milk and flour mixture.

Once the soup starts to thicken, it is ready to serve.

This simple slow cooker potato soup from scratch is a mainstay in our family. We frequently vary the recipe as follows:

Cheesy Potato Soup

Stir in ¼ pound (125 g) of shredded cheese just prior to serving for cheese potato soup. A can of evaporated milk may be substituted for the regular milk.

Homemade Potato Soup with Bacon

When serving, top with crispy bacon bits. To further infuse with bacon into the soup, cook the onions and 2 slices of bacon, cut into lardons, ¼ inch (½ cm) strips. Then add the bacon and onions to the crockpot with the remaining ingredients in the first step. Voila, bacon potato soup.

Bacon & Cheese Potato Soup

Combine cheese and bacon as noted in both variations above.
