Ingredients

  • 1 - chopped onion
  • 1 - stick butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped mushrooms (canned or fresh)

  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

How To Make potato and mushroom chowder

  • Step 1
    Saute garlic,onion, carrots, mushrooms and celery with 1/2 of the butter until soft. Add potatoes and the rest of the butter along with garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste. I use parsley garlic salt. Continue saute until potatoes are coated well with butter and start to brown.
  • Step 2
    Transfer this to warm crock pot and add broth and water and stir well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or 3-4 hours on high.
  • Step 3
    Stir well and add milk - I use 1/4 cup half and half and 1 3/4 skim milk. Add cheese and stir well and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes. I add 3 tablespoons of corn starch with 1/4 cup water mixed well along with 1 3/4 cups of instant potatoes to thicken my soup at this point. Serve with cheeses, croutons and sour cream if desired.
