Slow Cooker Creamy Potato Bacon

Print Recipe

Creamy potato soup with bacon slow-cooked to comfort, layered with tender potatoes, savory bacon, cream, and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices streaky bacon, cut into 1.25 cm pieces
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cans (300 ml each) condensed chicken broth
  • 480 ml water
  • 5 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 65 grams all-purpose flour
  • 480 ml half-and-half cream
  • 1 can (354 ml) evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced bacon and chopped onion until the bacon is crisp and the onions are translucent. Drain off excess fat.
  2. Transfer the cooked bacon and onion to the slow cooker. Add condensed chicken broth, water, diced potatoes, salt, dill weed, and white pepper. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fully tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with the half-and-half cream until smooth with no lumps remaining.
  5. Pour the flour and cream mixture into the slow cooker along with evaporated milk. Stir to combine. Cover and continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes until thickened. Serve hot.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes for a smoother texture and to maintain shape during long slow cooking.
