When it comes to making soup, using a crockpot is one of the easiest ways to get the job done.

1. Start by peeling and chopping your potatoes. You can also leave the skins on if you prefer.

2. Add your potatoes to the crockpot along with some chopped onions, celery, and garlic.

3. Pour enough chicken or vegetable broth to cover the ingredients in the pot.

4. Season with salt and pepper, then set the crockpot on low and let it cook for 6-8 hours.

5. Add your heavy cream and shredded cheese right before you plan on serving the soup.

Chef’s Tips for a crockpot potato soup:

When it comes to making potato soup, there are a few things that you can do to make sure that your soup turns out great every time. Here are a few chef’s tips for making the perfect crockpot potato soup:

1. Start by browning your potatoes in a bit of oil before adding them to the crockpot. This will help to give them a nice, golden color and prevent them from sticking to the pot.

2. Cut your potatoes into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. No one wants to bite into a chunky piece of potato in their soup!

3. Be sure to add enough liquid to the pot, as potatoes can absorb a lot of water while they cook.

4. if you are using chicken, Use a good quality chicken broth for your soup. The flavor is much better than the boxed or powdered broths.

5. For a creamier soup, you can use a potato masher to give it a little texture before serving.

6. For a little extra flavour, add a bay leaf or some fresh rosemary to the soup before serving.

Key Ingredients for crockpot potato soup recipe

Potatoes: Use any white potato you prefer. I like to use Yukon gold potatoes for the highest-quality, creamy text.

Onion: Add any onion you prefer to the soup. I like to use a sweet Vidalia onion for the best flavor.

Broth: Use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor. No good crockpot potato recipes are made without a good chicken broth.

Vegetables: Add whatever vegetables you prefer to your soup. I personally like to add some celery, carrots, and green beans to the soup.

Black pepper: Add a little black pepper to the soup for a bit of spice.

Salt: You can use table salt or sea salt, but I prefer sea salt because it has a better flavor and is not contaminated with additives that are found in many commercial table salts.

Cumin: I add a little cumin to my soup for added flavor.

Paprika: I add a little paprika to my soup for added flavour.

TOOLS

Crockpot: I love my crockpot, it makes cooking so easy. I can throw everything into the pot and then go about my day while the food cooks itself. It saves me money because I don’t have to eat out or use the microwave to cook my food.

Knief: A knife is a must for cutting vegetables. The knife I use is very sharp and made of high-quality stainless steel. It’s also easy to clean, a must when you’re working with raw meat.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS :
