Hello to all you fellow crock-potters :-) ....
I'm in need of a crock pot recipe for potato soup. It is my absolute FAVORITE!...But all I seem to find on the net/books are the non-traditional recipes. I'm looking for a more homestyle recipe - no ham or clams or weird stuff like that lol.
Anyone have a good recipe? Thanks! :-)

Re: Potato Soup?
10/16The only traditional potato soup receipe I have involves canned milk... and my understanding of dairy and crockpots is that the milk will sepapare due to the long cooking... I have one dish that calls for like a quarter cup of nonfat drried milk, but I don't know that I'd want to use NFD milk insomething as milky as potato soup. -

Re: Potato Soup?
09/20If you are worried about the milk seperating then I suggesting, about 30 mins before serving, add heavy cream to the soup... makes for a tastey cream of potato soup.
If you want to use vegtable based broth instead of chicken I suggest cooking some of your veggies (celery, onion, garlic, scallions, etc) in a hot frying pan for a few mins...then adding a bit of vinegar (not sure about the measurement cause it depends on the amount of veggies and soup..) just enuff that will sizzle off quickly.. it helps bring out more of the veggies flavors.. you can do this with herbs as well especially freash herbs. Just pour over a strainer to remove the leaves.
O and if you don't wanna put the veggies in your potato soup then grate the veggies before you sizzle them, and just like with the herbs, use a strainer. -

10/17Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?
Crockpot Potato Soup
-------------------------
8 Large Potatoes -- cubed
2 Med Onions -- chopped
2 Tbsp Margarine
2 Chicken boullion cubes
2 Tbsp Parsley -- dry
6 Cups Water
2 Cups Milk
1/2 Cup Flour -- mixed with water
Place ingredients 1 through 6 in the crockpot and cook all day on low to medium. 1/2 hour to an hour before serving stir in milk and flour mixture.
Once the soup starts to thicken, it is ready to serve.

Re: Potato Soup?
09/20I made this soup yesterday for dinner, added 1/2 cup lean bacon, 1/4 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup sliced carrots. Turned out great. Served with homemade tea bisquits hot from the oven. Next time I will try the Velveeta addition. Cheers!

Re: Potato Soup?
10/29i have an idea for something but i am not sure it will work...
i wanted to do and potato and broccoli cheesy type casserole. i was picturing thinly slicing potatoes with green onions on bottom of pot, then adding a can of cream of mushroom soup, then broccoli and more potatoes and more soup... like a layering effect with grated cheese mixed throughout . do you think the broccoli would get all mushy if you cooked the potatoes all day? -
-
Re: Potato Soup?
10/29I'm pretty sure the broccoli would get mushy and in my crockpot, the taters wouldn't be done for 12 or 14 hours unless I'd parboiled or par-microwaved them first (I have a crock from the Carter Administration).
However - and I know this is a crock tribe and we are all fiercely attached to our crockpots - I would suggest making this in a casserole dish and baking it for 45 minutes at 350F. You could make it the night before. It wouldn't be done when you got home, but you wouldn't have to do any actual prep work.
Cream of chicken or cheese soup would be tasty in this too! -

Re: Potato Soup?
10/30heh. that's the thing... i moved into a shady house situation where the owner is now in jail and we don't have a stove. so yeah, i use my crock for everything. i think you are right though. maybe i could do it on high for like 6 hours and then switch to low and throw the broccoli in. takes away from the layering effect though. -

Re: Potato Soup?
10/30You could use potatoes that have already been cooked - parboiled or microwaved, or you could use packaged O'Brien or hash brown potatoes.
When I was in college friends of mine moved into a full-size house with no appliances. They had a hot plate, a microwave, and a dorm fridge.
