Crockpot Loaded Potato & Broccoli Soup

So one of my favorite foods is potatoes. I can eat them all types of ways. I like them mashed, baked, fried, roasted and in my soup. That brings me to today's video of my Loaded Baked Potato Soup. I have just recently started to like potato soup. I had never had it before until I had made my own. I had cooked potatoes just about every way you can think of and one day out of the blue, I wanted to make potato soup.

The first time I made it, I fell in love and so did my son. We love it so much, we could probably eat just about the whole pot in one day by ourselves lol. Right!!! I know it's not healthy to eat a lot of starch, but it is so good! Each time I made it, I got more creative and came up with my own way of making it. I hope that you all enjoy the video and make sure you try the recipe.

What You Will Need:

2-3 large potatoes peeled and cut (3-4 cups depending on the amount you like)

1 small head of broccoli cut up. Equals to about 1 cup (you can add more if you like)

3/4 cup of onions

4 cups of chicken broth

1/2 tbsp of kosher salt

1/2 tablespoon of pepper

Add all of the ingredients above to your crockpot and cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours on high (time may vary depending on crockpot). Your potatoes and broccoli should be almost done.

Roux

Add ingredients in the order listed. You may follow the video. Once your roux is made add to the crockpot, mix well and cook for another 20 - 30 minutes.
