How To Make Crock Pot Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb of thick sliced bacon
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 10 medium (not large) potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 4 cups of chicken stock
- 1 pint of half and half
- Salt & Pepper for taste
- 3-4 sprigs of thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Directions
- Peel the potatoes and chop into one inch cubes
- Place potato cubes into a large bowl of water and quickly add a few squirts of lemon juice to the water. This will prevent the potatoes from turning brown.
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Then dice up the bacon.
- Remove the bacon from the pan but leave the fat in the pan.
- Add the chopped onions to the bacon fat in the pan and heat the onions until they become translucent.
- Take all of the ingredients except for the half and half and bacon and put in the Crock Pot.
- Cook on low for 10-12 hours
- After 10-12 hours add the half and half to the mixture and stir it in real good. There is no need (don’t do it) to cook the half and half.
- At this point decide if you would like the potatoes in cube form in your soup or you would like creamy potatoes in your soup. If you would like creamy potatoes get out the masher and go to work.
- Ladle the soup out into soup cups and sprinkle the cooked bacon bits on top.

At one time in my life, when I was much younger, I was toying around with the idea of becoming a vegetarian. Maybe even a vegan. For those of you that don’t know the difference between a Vegetarian and a Vegan I will give a short explanation.
Vegetarian: Somebody who does not eat red meat at all. Some vegetarians will eat chicken and fish. Vegetarians have no problem drinking milk, eating sour cream, or digesting any other food that comes from animals. They just shy away from eating the animal.
Vegans: Vegans don’t eat any meat. They don’t eat chicken or fish. If it breathes they don’t eat it. They also don’t eat any food items that come from animals. No sour cream, no butter, and no milk. Vegans substitute animal food items with other more natural choices.
My experiment into becoming a vegetarian did not last long. I love hamburgers and steaks. I also like sour cream better than tofu! But once I learned how to make a baked potato I fell in love with all types of potato recipes.
