potato soup

this soup recipe is easy and much healthier than traditional potato soup.  best part? it goes in the slow cooker, of course!!  we had it last night with corned beef sandwiches.  perfect for this rainy weather we are having.

slow cooker potato soup
6 c. chicken or veg broth
4 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4-6 yukon gold or red potatoes, sliced into 1" rounds (i used 6 med. yukon golds)
2 large handfuls of spinach (or other greens)
1 c. skim milk
combine all ingredients except greens and milk in slow cooker.  cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8.  vegetables will be tender when done.  before serving add greens and milk, turn to warm.  serve with grated cheese, if you like. 
{if freezing: do not add milk until right before you serve}

  1. Thanks! I love potato soup, but you're right... it's not the healthiest thing. I love the idea of adding greens.
