Crockpot Potato Soup Recipe

These Italian Meatballs are my grandmother’s recipe, and they truly bring me joy and take me right back to her love filled home.

This Crab Pasta Salad is my mom’s recipe and I love making it when I’m missing her.

These Zucchini Fritters are my dad’s recipe.  He has many talents, cooking may not be at the top of that list, but when he makes these magic happens.

potatoes peeled and diced

onion diced

chicken stock see note

salt

black pepper

slices thick cut bacon diced

all purpose flour

heavy cream

shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for serving)

sour cream (optional for serving)

green onions (optional for serving)

In a large slow cooker combine the potatoes, onion, chicken stock, salt and pepper.

Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.

When there is only 15 minutes left of cooking time, remove 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the crock pot.

In a small stock pot over medium heat, cook the bacon. Once it is crispy, whisk in the flour.

Very slowly stir in the cooking liquid from the crock pot.  Once it is completely added, stir in the heavy cream, and the cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted.

Mash the potatoes in the crock pot using a potato masher or an immersion blender. Stir in the mixture from the stock pot.  Serve and enjoy!
