Crocktoberfest: Potato Soup




Ingredients:
3-5lbs Russet Potatoes, washed but NOT peeled. Diced into ½ inch(ish) cubes
1small yellow onion, diced
5cloves of garlic (you can use whole, crushed, or minced)
4cups chicken stock
8oz cream cheese
½T seasoned salt or all-purpose seasoning
Garnishes:
Crumbled bacon
Shredded cheddar cheese
Green onions

Directions

- Add potatoes, onion, garlic, seasoning and chicken stock to slow cooker. - Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10 hours. - Remove and puree the garlic cloves (if you used whole cloves) along with 1/2 to 1/3rd of the soup, and then reintroduce to the remainder in the crock pot. - Stir in the cream cheese and allow to melt. Stir every 10-15 minutes until soup is well blended. - Top with your choice of garnishes & serve! Yields 6 servings. I have found since first writing up this recipe, that adding the cream cheese to the 1/3 of soup that you're pureeing helps integrate it better. Both ways taste fantastic, though!
