Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with half-and-half or dairy-free options.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust based on preference.
Optional Toppings
  • shredded cheese Highly recommended.
  • green onions For garnish.
  • Halal-friendly chicken bits Optional for added protein.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes into cubes. Chop the onion into small pieces, ensuring they are relatively uniform for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. In your crockpot, add the diced potatoes and chopped onions. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the top to cover the vegetables completely.
  2. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting based on your preference.
  3. Set your crockpot to low and let it cook for about 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  4. Once cooking is complete, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches your desired texture. Leave some chunks if you prefer a hearty feel.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and let it warm through for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with your choice of toppings.

Notes

For lighter options, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, or use almond/coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to avoid texture changes.
