Crockpot Potato Soup

By Linda Larsen, About.com

My mom made this hearty potato soup when I was young; it's rich, delicious, and very inexpensive. I've adapted it to the crockpot.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Ingredients:

  • 5 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 (14-ounce) cans ready to serve chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (13-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 2 Tbsp. dried snipped chives
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery salt

Preparation:

Combine prepared potatoes with onions, garlic, broth, salt, and pepper in 4-5 quart crockpot. Cover and cook on low heat until potatoes are tender, 6-8 hours.

When potatoes are tender, coarsely mash with large spoon or potato masher.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl combine evaporated milk and 2 Tbsp. flour and mix well. Add to crockpot, stir well, and cook on high for 20-30 minutes to thicken.

Place sour cream in small bowl and mix with 1 Tbsp. flour; add some of the hot soup liquid; stir well with wire whisk to blend. Gently stir into crockpot along with remaining ingredients and cook on high for 20 minutes longer. Serves 8-10
