Slow Cooker Creamy Potato Soup

Slow cooker creamy potato soup

6 slices of bacon cut into pieces

1 onion finely chopped

2 cans chicken broth

2 cups water

5 large potatoes diced (I left mine pretty big so they wouldn't get too soft)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground white pepper

2 cups half and half (I used fat free! Still tasted great)

1/2 cup flour

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

Place bacon and onion in large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until bacon is evenly browned and onions are soft. Drain off grease.Transfer the bacon and onion to a slow cooker and stir in chicken broth, water, potatoes, salt and pepper. cover and cook on low 6-7 hours stirring occasionally. (I think that you could totally go with 5 hours and be okay too.)In a small bowl whisk together the half and half and flour. Stir into the soup along with the evaporated milk. Cover and cook another 30 minutes before serving.
