SIMPLE SLOW COOKER POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Spray the slow cooker, at least 4 quarts in size, with non-stick spray.
• Place all the ingredients, except the cream cheese, into the slow cooker.
• Mix thoroughly before starting the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 8 - 9 hours.
• Blend the final product. (I use a hand blender.).
• Fold in the cream cheese just before serving.
• Note: I did not peel the potatoes, liking the nutrition of the skin, not minding the darker flecks in the soup.
• Note: I add no salt, since there was plenty of sodium from the condensed soup, broth, and turkey bacon, even with the low sodium varieties.
• Note: I did not prepare the turkey bacon except to dice it, and I used UNCURED because that is how the turkey bacon we get at our supermarket comes.
• Note: 12 potatoes makes a much thinner soup whereas 18 makes a stew with a mashed potato-like consistency.

• In a blender or food processor, puree the soup until creamy (you can puree the whole pot or just some of it if you prefer a chunkier soup). Add salt and pepper to taste (I find a teaspoon or two of salt really helps boost the flavor).
• Stir in half and half and cheese (if using), then cover and heat an additional 15 minutes.
