Slow Cooker Potato Soup

Every Tuesday, I work late at the library.  Typically, I will make a crockpot meal so that my husband has a dinner planned for him in my absence. This past Tuesday, I made Slow Cooker Potato Soup.  This recipe is very flexible and when I make it, I make enough to have plenty of leftovers and freeze some for a later date.

5 lb chopped potatoes
1 chopped onion
6 cups water
2 cups milk
½ cup flour
Salt/pepper to taste
Celery chopped (optional)



Directions
Load the potatoes, celery, and onion into crock pot. Pour water over top and sprinkle with any desired spices. I used white pepper instead of black pepper. Cook on Low for 8-10 hours, until potatoes are cooked through.  30 minutes before serving, mix flour and milk, and then pour mixture into crock pot, mixing with other ingredients.
You could also add ham, bacon, carrots or other vegetables to enhance this soup. When I made it, I just did the super cheap version of the recipe.

If you want your soup a little less chunky, mash the potatoes with a fork before serving!

Perfect meal for a cold winter day!
