Creamy Potato Soup

After all of the potato soup recipes I've tried, this is my absolute favorite take on a classic!

• Ready In: 8 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 4  cups milk (whole or 2%)
• 1  cup hot water
• 1  vegetable bouillon cube (or chicken)
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped  white onion
• 1⁄2 cup  thinly sliced carrot
• 3⁄4 cup  thinly sliced celery
• 5  peeled and cubed potatoes
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1  teaspoon black pepper
• 1  teaspoon  chicken seasoning, blend (or your favorite blend of spices) or 1  teaspoon  italian blend  spices (or your favorite blend of spices)
• 1 -2  tablespoon flour
• 2 -3  cups mild cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Add milk, onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, salt, pepper, and seasoning blend to a 6 qt crock pot.
2. Dissolve the bouillon cube in the hot water and then add to the crock.
3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours
4. Using a potato masher, gently mash some of the potatoes in the soup to your preference (If you like a chickier soup don't mash as much).
5. If the soup is too thin take out about 1/2 cup of the cream and add 1-2 tablespoons of flour. Make sure all lumps of flour have dissolved in the cream, and then add the mixture back into the soup.
6. Stir in the cheese until creamy and enjoy!
