Crock Pot Potato Soup

Crock Pot Potato Soup

Crock Pot Potato Soup

The weather is changing here already. Today, winter coats were needed it was so chilly. I can’t believe it.  Fall just started and it seems to be ending already.   With all the chilliness, comes a bit of soup.  We don’t eat alot of soup, so, I am always a bit hesitate to make it.  But, this one looked pretty darn easy and it’s in the crock pot, so, why not?  It is nice and potato-ey {without any milk or cream} and makes enough to feed an army. We served ours topped with shredded cheddar, bacon  and a side of crunchy french bread.  A perfect, warm dinner for a chilly day.
What you need:
3 lbs potatoes, diced {no need to peel}
4 TBSP garlic powder
1 medium onion, chopped
38oz chicken stock
8oz cream cheese, softened.
To Prepare:
Add potatoes, garlic powder, onion and chicken stock into crock pot.  Cover. Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours.
Remove soup from crock pot. Puree in blender or food processor with cream cheese.  Pour back into crock pot to keep warm.
