When I was pregnant and freezing last winter I became more of a soup addict than ever in my life. I looked at many recipes online and in books and used bits and pieces of recipes and changed things until it suited me!
Broccoli Cheese Soup
12 slices of velveeta cheese
quart of half and half
16 ounce frozen bag of broccoli
2 cans of cream of celery soup
2 teaspoons of flour to thicken (omit the flour if you don't like a thick soup)
combine everything in crockpot and cook on med until desired thickness. And broccoli is soft. I made this last week and cooked it on low for about 6 hours and it was perfect!
Baked Potato Soup
4-6 large potatoes (We prefer the red ones)
2/3 cup margarine
2/3 cup flour
6 cups milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 onion chopped (I don't love onion so add to your taste)
bacon bits
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 chicken bouillon cubes
Bake potatoes in oven wrapped in foil until they are done ( 1-1/2 to 2 hours usually depending on the size of the potatoes)
Remove potatoes from skin
Melt butter in sauce pan
Add flour, stirring until smooth
Cook for about a minute adding milk gradually
Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until bubbly
Pour into crock pot and add potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, bacon, cheddar cheese and bouillon cubes
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours
You can garnish with sour cream or more bacon but I left it the way that it was and it was delish
