This is the perfect soup for Fall. The kids love it because its "yummy" and I love it because its easy and inexpensive. Plus, crockpots are great because you only have one dish to clean when you're done:-)
You'll need:
7-10 potatoes, washed and diced (I like Yukon Golds and reds mixed, but any kind will do). In the end it will be about 8 cups.
2 onions, diced
4 celery stalks, diced
2 leeks, sliced very thin (or use 2 bunches green onions)
1 quart stalk (chicken or vegetable- homemade is best)
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
Put all ingredients except the cream in the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Add cream for the last 30 minutes.
We serve our with bacon pieces on top and steamed broccoli or green beans on the side.
Finally, after smelling this in my crockpot for the last 5 hours I can enjoy it! Its delish! I even cut some fresh corn off the cob and added it in. I don't know why but when I think of potato soup I think of corn too! It's a hit with the kid too!
