CHUNKY CREAM OF POTATO SOUP (SLOW COOKER & GLUTEN FREE)



Chunky Cream of Potato Soup (Slow Cooker & Gluten Free) image

I didn't like any of the recipes I found for Cream of Potato Soup so I invented my own. I didn't measure anything as I made it, so the measurements are a little imprecise.

Categories     Potato

Time 5h30m

Yield 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 quarts potatoes (approximately)
1 cup bacon, diced and uncooked
1 onion, large
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
water
2 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 cup rice flour
4 cups milk
salt

Steps:

  • Peel and dice potatoes, enough to fill a 6 quart slow cooker 3/4 full. Rinse well and place in cooker.
  • Cook bacon, and add to the cooker, leaving the grease in the frying pan.
  • Dice onion, and cook along with the garlic in the bacon fat. Add to the cooker.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 478.3, Fat 15, SaturatedFat 9.1, Cholesterol 46.1, Sodium 1693.1, Carbohydrate 74.6, Fiber 8.1, Sugar 6.4, Protein 13.3

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the potatoes. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the soup. You can add any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: Creamy chunky potato soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Creamy chunky potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
