Crockpot Potato Soup

 

 

8 cups coarsely chopped peeled potatoes

1 small onion, chopped(1/3 cup)

chopped ham or cooked bacon ( I usually use about 3/4 cup of real bacon bits)

1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened (I use fat free, tastes the same)

3 cans chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken soup

salt and pepper to taste

place potatoes, onions and ham or bacon in crockpot. in a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, cream of chicken soup and add to crockpot.

cover and cook on low 8 hrs. or on high for 4 hrs..If you like, mash the potatoes slightly for a thicker consistency right before serving..

this is the BEST potato soup recipe that I have ever made, when I take it somewhere, everyone wants the recipe

This sounds like my recipe except I fry the bacon and crumble it on top of the soup once it is in the soup bowl and add some shredded cheese. YUMMY!!

Mine is the same as Dena's, but I also do the bacon on the side and crumble it on top. No one in my house likes mushy bacon. I also used dried chopped onions as this is the way I originally made it, and my daughter prefers it this way.

 

I do take out half of the cooked potatoes, mash them with the cream cheese and add them back into the soup. Then I cook it for about an hour more.

I start my potato soup with a white sauce (butter, flour and milk). I do that in one pot while I boil the potatoes in the other. I make the white sauce with equal amounts of butter and flour and thin with milk (start with about 1 c per TBLSP of butter and be sure to let it simmer and thicken before you continue to add milk). I flavor the sauce with a little meatless broth powder that I get from Frontier to flavor it, but you could use chicken bouillon as well. Of course I season the white sauce with a little salt and pepper. It'll be smooth and creamy. I add potatoes, and, if I want to thin more at that point, I add some of the potato liquid.

 

Once the potatoes are in and it is smooth and creamy, I add some grated cheddar and blend in well. I throw in a handful of finely chopped green onion. We serve with cooked, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar and more fresh green onion on top, and, of course HOT homemade rolls!!

 

Like I said, not the healthiest recipe (or maybe I should say not lowfat), but BOY is it GOOD???
