Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine water, potatoes, onion, celery, butter, bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a slow cooker. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Cook on Low for 8-9 hours, or on High for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. (Cook time: 6-9 hours)

03

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together cold water and cornstarch to form a slurry.

04

Step

Stir half of the cornstarch slurry, heavy cream, and evaporated milk into the soup. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Cook for 1 more hour on High until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency, adding more of the cornstarch slurry if needed. (Cook time: 1 hour)

06

Step

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chives before serving. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, try using chicken broth instead of water and bouillon.
Crisp bacon bits and shredded Cheddar cheese make excellent toppings.
A swirl of sour cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt adds a tangy finish.
Adjust the amount of cornstarch slurry to achieve your desired soup thickness.
Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for a subtle warmth.
If you like your soup chunkier, mash only some of the potatoes before adding the cream.
To add a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika or add a ham hock while cooking.

    I used vegetable broth instead of chicken bouillon and it was great for a vegetarian option.

  • Candice Kling

    My family loved this soup! Will definitely make it again.

  • Pansy Walter

    I found that the soup was thick enough without all the cornstarch. I'd suggest starting with half and adding more if needed.

  • Kristy Dubuque

    I added some roasted garlic and it was amazing!
