Dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces. Chop the onions, celery, and carrots.
Place the vegetables in the room-temperature clay pot. Add the parsley, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, and a modest amount of salt.
Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the vegetables while staying below the maximum fill line. If the ingredients and broth will not fit with room for the creamy finish, reduce the batch proportionally.
Cover and select theSoup setting for 2–3 hours, or until the potatoes and vegetables are soft.
Check tenderness and liquid during cooking. Maintain sufficient broth and follow the cooking limits in your model’s manual.
In a bowl, gradually whisk the flour into the cold milk until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Heat gently, whisking continuously, until it bubbles and thickens. Continue cooking and stirring until the flour is fully cooked.
This separate step helps prevent lumps and reduces the risk of scorching a thick mixture in the clay pot.
Gradually whisk some hot soup broth into the cooked flour-and-milk mixture to loosen it. Gently stir the mixture into the soup.
Turn off the cooking cycle. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream with a little warm broth, then stir it into the soup. Avoid prolonged boiling after adding the sour cream.
Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick, stir in additional warm broth a little at a time.
Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar, cooked bacon, green onions, and a spoonful of sour cream.
No. This recipe uses raw diced potatoes that cook directly in the broth.
Yes. Reduce all ingredients proportionally while meeting your cooker’s minimum liquid and fill requirements.
Yes. Substitute vegetable stock and skip the bacon for a meat-free version.
For a thinner soup, stir in warm broth until it reaches your preferred consistency. For more texture, leave the potato pieces intact; for a creamier base, gently mash a few cooked potatoes before adding the creamy mixture.
A warm bowl of potato soup, a few favorite toppings, and something delicious to share—comfort food can be that simple.
