Slow Cook Baked Potato Soup

So God Made a Mother is Here! 🎉

Nebraska Weather! We have had 90 degree weather, torrential rains and as I write this, we may see snow. With the snow in the air, it is a perfect time to pull out the slow cooker and fill it with my favorite soup, Baked Potato Soup! I am not the cook who uses a lot of cans, I like to keep it homey and use things such as a white sauce in place of the cream of soup a typical recipe calls for. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

4 to 5 medium sized potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1/4 inch pieces ( you do not have to peel potatoes unless you would like to)
3 carrots
1 medium chopped onion
3 T butter or margarine
3 T all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. lowfat milk or evaporated skim milk
4 c. chicken broth ( you may use chicken boullion or chicken base)
2 c. water
1 T parsley flakes, dried or fresh (optional)

Instructions

1. Spray inside of slow cook pan lightly with spay oil.
2. Place cubed potatoes and sliced carrots in slow cooker.
3. Melt butter or margarine in medium size sauce pan. Add onions and saute until transclucent in color.
4. Make a white sauce by whisking in flour to the butter and onions. Brown this mixture for 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add the milk into this mixture. Keep stirring until this is thickened.
5. Pour white sauce over vegetables in slow cooker. Carefully add the chicken broth and water.
6. Set slow cooker to low and cook for 6-7 hours until potatoes carrots are fork tender. You may add more liquid, either milk or water if it is too thick. Season with pepper and salt to your liking.

Notes

Note: If you do not have time to make a white sauce, add your favorite can of creamed soup and add a cup of milk with it. Also, if you like cheese, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mild cheddar right before serving. You may also garnish with turkey bacon and low-fat/non-fat sour cream.

Valentine's Day snack mix by a white bowl

There is something about this time year that makes me hungry for a good snack mix. Maybe it’s the dull, grey weather. And, the fact that what I would really like to do is stay in my pajamas, on the couch with a good book or movie, and eat snack mix ALL day Long! With tea. Or better yet—wine. Wine goes with snack mix, doesn’t it? I really just love all the different flavors, textures, colors, and the fact that I can almost make a healthy meal out of this stuff. Protein —you betcha. Whole grains—of course! Fruit—yes. M&Ms—they are...

I woke up early to come wake you up. Even though you don’t need me to. Even though you’re capable of waking up on your own to your own alarm clock in your own room. Every day you become more independent and every day I’m wondering what my role is in your life. My motherhood job description keeps changing and I’m doing my best to keep up and change accordingly. So I woke up to wake you up so we could spend some early morning moments as just the two of us, the way it used to be before all...

The Mexican Brownie Disaster (Recipe Inside!)

In: Kitchen, Recipe Journal

Even as a teenage I remember browsing through my mom’s cookbooks, marking recipes that piqued my interest, but rarely seeing any through to fruition. In part, this was due to my mother’s love-hate relationship with the kitchen. Love because she believed strongly in family dinnertime and was happy to open our home and table to guests. Hate because she didn’t actually enjoy cooking and certainly wasn’t looking for opportunities to mix, chop, roast, or blend more than absolutely necessary. Market Day Chicken Stir Fry was a go-to and family favorite. I, on the other hand, thought it might be exciting...

Organize Your Pantry in 10 Easy Steps

In: Kitchen, Style

Having an unorganized pantry was causing me stress. Every time I opened it, it bothered me. And, if your household is anything like mine, the door to the pantry gets opened A LOT, everyday! There was no better time than after the holidays and the start of a new year: I was going to get it organized, no matter what. I assessed the project for quite some time, researching, and shopping, but I didn’t want it to look mismatched and like I had just thrown things together. I wanted it legit, organized like a pro. We don’t have a very...

I Used to Want to Change the World. Now I Just Want a Cookie.

In: Health, Healthy Living, Kitchen

I’m on the seventh day of a month-long highly restrictive diet to try to deal with some health issues I’ve been having. I want to get that information out of the way up front, just in case this post comes across a little “hangry.” As I’ve been dealing with cutting things from my diet and adding in new things to try to figure out why I’m having my current health issues, it has occurred to me how much time I’ve had to spend thinking about food that I used to spend being productive. It’s not just the actual food prep...

If We Can’t Have Jack Back from ‘This is Us’ At least We Can Put His Face on Our Crock-Pots

In: Humor, Kitchen

Business owners are smart. Especially Etsy shop owners who see an opportunity—like capitalizing on the latest American obsession. So here it is. For “This is Us” fans (hahaha—like there are people out there who AREN’T “This is Us” fans), Etsy shops are now offering Crock-Pot decals of phrases like “Unplug Me, Jack” and also images of his beautiful face. This is how we can bring him back, girls. And also keep our Crock-Pots. Kidding! Crock-Pot was very quick to defend their product after America’s sobfest 2018, saying in a statement: Crock-Pot understands the concerns brought up by last night’s episode...

Written By: Rachel Gnagy @ Inscribed Photography & Design (recipe originally from here) One of my favorite ‘girly’ meals to make is soup served in bread bowls.

So when I saw a recipe on Pinterest for creamy chicken and rice soup, I thought I would give it a try! You will need: 1 Tablespoon of olive oil 2-3 carrots, sliced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 5 cups of chicken stock 1 cup of cooked chicken,...
