Ok, so it wasn't actually a chicken dinner, but we had another great success with dinner last night. The theme for this week's dishes has been 'Things I can make with what I already have because I didn't/don't want to go to the grocery store'. We had tons of potatoes (thanks, Costco) so I decided that Potato Soup would be perfect for Soupy Tuesday. Potato Soup is one of my favorites. When I go to visit my parents in Arizona, my trip is usually planned around being there on a Sunday to go to Houston's to eat their Potato Soup on Sunday.
Anywho, I did some reading online for Potato Soup recipes, and they either involved too much work (hello, I don't want to bake all the potatoes ahead of time and scoop out in the insides, the whole point of doing this crock thang is for me to have to do as minimal of prep work as possible). So, I read a few, got the general gist, and then went for the wing it version. My recipe basically consisted of the following:
Lots of potatoes cut up into bites that would fit into my mouth
8 pieces of bacon cooked until crispy
6 cups water
Salt and Pepper
Half stick of butter
1 tsp Chicken Bouillon granules
Drop all that into the pot and cook on low for 8 hours. After 8 hours add (or about 30 minutes until you are ready to serve):
2 cups Milk (I used 1 cup 1% 1 cup heavy cream because it was in the fridge)
1/2 cup flour (for thickening)
The final result was delicious, but we added lots more pepper when we ate it and of course garnished with green onions and cheddar cheese.
