Indulge in the Richness of Slow Cooker Creamy Potato Bacon Soup

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of bacon, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 2 (10.5 ounce) cans of condensed chicken broth
• 2 cups of water
• 5 large potatoes, diced
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ½ teaspoon of dried dill weed
• ½ teaspoon of ground white pepper
• ½ cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 cups of half-and-half cream
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can of evaporated milk

Instructions:

1. Begin by crisping the bacon and sautéing the onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the bacon is golden brown and the onions are tender. Remove any excess grease.
2. Transfer the bacon and onion mixture to your slow cooker. Add in the chicken broth, water, diced potatoes, salt, dill weed, and white pepper. Stir to combine, then cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour and half-and-half until smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker, along with the evaporated milk. Stir well to incorporate.
4. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes to allow the soup to thicken and the flavors to meld further.
5. Once ready, serve hot and garnish with additional bacon bits or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an added touch of elegance.
