Crock Pot Potato Soup

Ingredients

4 large potatoes cubed 1tbsp minced garlic 1 medium onion chopped 1 tbsp butter 1 chicken bouillon cube 1 tsp paprika 1tsp dry parsley (or Italian Seasoning) salt & pepper to taste 3c water and 1tbsp celery flakes [1/4c flour or cornstarch for thickening if needed] *Optional - green onions and bacon cooked & crumbled

Directions

1) Place all the ingredients except for the flour or cornstarch into the crock pot and cook all day on low. 2) About 30 to 60 minutes before serving, if you want to thicken it up, mix cornstarch & water and slowly mix in. Once it begins to thicken, it's ready to serve! If you feel so inclined, crumble bacon on top right before serving and garnish with fresh green onion! YUMMY!

For cheesy potato soup, add about 1/4lb cheddar (some like Velveeta) during step 2 so it will be fully melted before serving! I also like to add veggies! :)
