Gluten Free Crock Pot Potato Soup Food

GLUTEN FREE CROCK POT POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Add potatoes, celery, garlic, onions, broth, nutmeg, salt and pepper to crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• Decide if you want a completely smooth soup or a thicker, chunkier consistency. I like to have bites of potatoes, so I removed 4 cups of drained cooked potatoes. Set aside.
• Using an immersion blender, puree' the rest of the potatoes in the pot. If you do not have an immersion blender, use a potato masher or a traditional blender. For ease, I would go with the potato masher, but you will not get the silky smooth consistency.
• Add the cream cheese, 1.5 cups shredded cheese, milk and reserved potatoes. Stir together to incorporate milk.
• Put lid on crock pot and let cheeses melt for 15 minutes. Remove lid and stir.
• Top with bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, green onions.
