Slow Cooker (or stove top) Potato Soup

ok I know I haven't updated this blog in f.o.r.e.v.e.r. But I made this soup tonight and it was AMAZING! Seriously. Make this soup. It's easy, fast and healthier than traditional potato soup. Oh my goodness...and so good!

It's basically just potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, chicken broth, salt and pepper that's simmered until the veggies are done and then you put in a can of evaporated milk and some dried parsley. I also added some garlic and Thyme (as the author suggested) and I really think that made the dish. I served it with garlic bread. OH ....and you don't even have to use your Crockpot for this. I did it over the stove in my dutch oven and it was ready in about 20-30 minutes. Actually - I'm kind of wondering how the veggies would do in the crockpot all day long. I say skip the crockpot this time around and instead just have everything pre-chopped and ready to go. When you get home from work/driving the kids around/going insane with a busy schedule - just plop everything in a big pot, cook until veggies are tender, throw in the milk and parsley and you'll be good to go.

Enjoy!!!!
