Best Chunky Cream Of Potato Soup Slow Cooker Gluten Free Recipes

GLUTEN FREE CROCK POT POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Add potatoes, celery, garlic, onions, broth, nutmeg, salt and pepper to crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• Decide if you want a completely smooth soup or a thicker, chunkier consistency. I like to have bites of potatoes, so I removed 4 cups of drained cooked potatoes. Set aside.
• Using an immersion blender, puree' the rest of the potatoes in the pot. If you do not have an immersion blender, use a potato masher or a traditional blender. For ease, I would go with the potato masher, but you will not get the silky smooth consistency.
• Add the cream cheese, 1.5 cups shredded cheese, milk and reserved potatoes. Stir together to incorporate milk.
• Put lid on crock pot and let cheeses melt for 15 minutes. Remove lid and stir.
• Top with bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, green onions.

CHUNKY CREAM OF POTATO SOUP (SLOW COOKER & GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, enough to fill a 6 quart slow cooker 3/4 full. Rinse well and place in cooker.
• Cook bacon, and add to the cooker, leaving the grease in the frying pan.
• Dice onion, and cook along with the garlic in the bacon fat. Add to the cooker.
• Dissolve the bouillon cubes in hot water and add to the cooker. Add enough water to just cover the potatoes. Mix well.
• Cover and Cook on high until potatoes are tender, about 4-4 1/2 hours.
• Remove about 1/3 of the potatoes (or more, depending on how chunky or smooth you want your soup). Mash these potatoes well, and blend with the rice flour and milk.
• Add the cream base to the slow cooker, and continue to cook on high for 1 hour, stirring once or twice to keep the rice flour from clumping up.
• Add salt to taste before serving.
