Now I know that everyone and their MeMaw has a potato soup recipe, but this is the first time that I have cooked it with it not being from a pack and just add water. The only complaint that I got was that I didn't make enough. If you're low carbing, you could use cauliflower, or mix half potato and half cauliflower. It was my lack of math common sense that probably led to there not being an over abundance of soup. The recipe that I had said to use 2.5 lbs of potatoes. So I asked Siri, how many Russet potatoes are 2.5 lbs? It told me one potato=one pound. It told me 7 potatoes = one lb. Also...3-4 potatoes should be more than enough. My head exploded. I diced up 9 and then I quit. The potato to other ingredients ratio was good, but next time I will add more potatoes and a little bit more of everything else. What I used: 9 diced and washed Russet potatoes Diced onion. Amount to your liking. I diced up half. I am lazy. 2 heaping spoonful's of minced garlic 2 cups of chicken broth 8 oz of cream cheese 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar 1.5 cups of heavy cream Salt/pepper/onion/garlic powder What I did: Add the onion and the potatoes to the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth, add the minced garlic. Season the shit out of it. I know I added literal onion and garlic, but I am not sure if I can cook a meal without adding garlic and onion powder. I may have sprinkled on a little Tony's. Cook on low for 6 hours. Now, if you're cooking potato soup and you plan on mashing the potatoes, may I suggest owning a potato masher. I ended up using the tool you separate ground beef with. After 6 hours, add in the cream, the cream cheese, and the cheese. That could be confusing in translation. I may have added in a little bacon grease. Mash and stir until it's the consistency you like, I left a few lumps. I changed the setting to warm, and let it hang out until the fam got home, about 30 minutes. Adding cooked bacon on top would have been perfect, but alas, I had none. 'Twas yum.
