There is something about a month of below freezing temperatures that makes me want to eat homemade soup. One of the great things about doing it in a crock pot is that my house smells delicious all day long. I made this on a day that we were having a blizzard. I couldn't go to the store and this recipe didn't require very many ingredients. It is flavorful as is, but it would also be great with ground up sausage, or bits of bacon in it. But if all you have is potatoes and celery (like I did), you still won't be disappointed with this soup!
Creamy Potato Soup
adapted from: allrecipes.com
8 c. diced potatoes (I didn't even peel mine)
3 stalks of celery, diced
1 c. chopped onion
3 cans (14.5 oz) chicken broth (I used chicken bouillon and water)
4 cubes of beef bouillon
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
In the slow cooker, add the potatoes, celery, onion, chicken broth, beef bouillon and pepper. Cook it on high for 3 hours. After three hours, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir it together to make a paste. Slowly pour in the milk and whisk it constantly until it begins to boil and thicken. Pour it in to the slow cooker and gently stir it to combine. Cook it for one more hour on high.
