Slow Cooker Potato-Leek Soup

"Even my one year old will eat this. It is delicious served in a sourdough bread bowl and is particularly good on an autumn day. It comes together easily, too."

directions

  • Place potatoes and leeks in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over and toss until well-coated. Add the chicken stock and stir, then add the dill and the chopped bacon. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
  • In a blender or food processor, puree the soup until creamy (you can puree the whole pot or just some of it if you prefer a chunkier soup). Add salt and pepper to taste (I find a teaspoon or two of salt really helps boost the flavor).
  • Stir in half and half and cheese (if using), then cover and heat an additional 15 minutes.

  1. Awesome! My soup was thick, creamy and delicious. I used 3 large leeks, just to use them up. I also used fat free half and half and turkey bacon to cut some fat. I left it with just a few chunks when I blended it. I did add 1/2 cup of the optional cheese. I tasted it both ways and it's yummy with or without the cheese. Thanx for a great slowcooker soup!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
