Slow Cooker Potato-Leek Soup image

Even my one year old will eat this. It is delicious served in a sourdough bread bowl and is particularly good on an autumn day. It comes together easily, too.

Categories     Potato

Time 8h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken stock
2 medium leeks, rinsed and chopped (white and light green parts)
1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill
6 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and chopped
2/3 cup half-and-half
1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and leeks in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over and toss until well-coated. Add the chicken stock and stir, then add the dill and the chopped bacon. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
  • In a blender or food processor, puree the soup until creamy (you can puree the whole pot or just some of it if you prefer a chunkier soup). Add salt and pepper to taste (I find a teaspoon or two of salt really helps boost the flavor).
  • Stir in half and half and cheese (if using), then cover and heat an additional 15 minutes.

I'm not usually a fan of leek soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The potatoes and cheese really balanced out the flavor of the leeks. I'll definitely be making this again.
