I made this recipe with ingredients I could get from ALDI's because that's where my daughter shops. So it was inexpensive and easy to make... Not to mention delicious!

How To Make laura's crock-pot rustic potato soup

Step 1

In a 6 qt. crock-pot. Add in both cartons of Vegetable Stock, potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, thyme, parsley flakes and bay leaves.

Step 2

In a sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp and drain thoroughly on paper towels.
Step 3

Add cooked & drained bacon to crock-pot.
Step 4

Cook on low heat for about 8 hours. (I set it and go to bed)
Step 5

In a saucepan, melt butter and add flour and whisk in evaporated milk. Once it starts to thicken, remove from heat. Slowly spoon it into crock-pot stirring to keep lumps out. Keep adding until you get a nice creamy consistancy.
Step 6

Add Salt and Pepper to taste.
Step 7

Optional Garnishes: cheese, bacon bits, onions, fresh parsley. Whatever floats your boat! Enjoy!!
