I love this simple, basic recipe for slow cooker potato soup. Sometimes I add bacon or Cheddar cheese for a little variation. You can do a lot with it.

Ingredients

5 cups water
5 cups cubed potatoes
2 cups chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
¼ cup salted butter
4 cubes chicken bouillon
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1 cup cold water
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Steps:

Combine 5 cups water, potatoes, onion, celery, butter, bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a slow cooker. Cook until vegetables are tender, on Low for 8 to 9 hours or on High, about 6 hours.
Mix cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir 1/2 of the cornstarch mixture, heavy cream, and evaporated milk into the soup and cook for 1 more hour until thickened, adding more of the cornstarch mixture if desired for consistency. Top with chives before serving.
