SLOW COOKER POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients except the milk into a slow cooker for 4-6 hours on low.
• Add warm milk 30 minutes before serving. Cold milk will stop the cooking process and delay meal. Do not add sooner because the milk may curdle.
• To thicken soup, add instant potato flakes to taste. You may use potato pearls but you will have to stir the soup a lot more to get the pearls to desolve.

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.
