  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups cream or half-and-half
  • real bacon bits, optional

Preparation:

Combine first potatoes, chopped onion, carrots, celery, chicken broth, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker.

This was my first time using a slow cooker so I was looking for an easy recipe with common ingredients. This recipe did not disappoint! I used 2 percent milk instead of cream or half and half and I left out the celery. Instead of parsley I used fresh grated parmesan, fresh grated garlic, and a teaspoon of garlic salt to add more flavor. The final result is very similar to potato soup I've tried in restaurants. It is filling without being too rich or thick. I will be using this recipe again and will try real bacon bits next time for a meatier flavor.
