Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 Celery stalks
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.
Place the potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic into the slow cooker. Add the chicken or vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Once the vegetables are fully cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only half of the mixture.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened.
Stir the butter-flour-cream mixture into the slow cooker. Mix well and let cook for an additional 15-30 minutes on LOW to allow the soup to thicken further.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls.
Top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!
