Making use of a slow cooker is the best kitchen item to have for cooking. You simply put all the ingredients in, season and top it off with the lid. It’s as easy as cake.. Several hours later you can spoon out your recipe in a bowl and then what’s left over is frozen for later eating pleasure.
Crock Pot Potato Soup
Ingredients:
- 7 Idaho potatoes
- 3 baby onions (small)
- 4 stalk celery
- 1 ib turkey sausage
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups Crème de Mexicana
- 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning
- Salt and white pepper to taste
Directions:
Peel the potatoes, wash and put in a bowl of water. Cut up the onions and celery. For this recipe, I used 3 small baby onions, but 1 large one will be okay. I used turkey polish sausage for this recipe since I wanted to go a lighter version of the soup. Cut the sausage and potatoes into 1 inch pieces and add to crock pot. Add in the cut vegetables. I had some reserved chicken stock and poured it over the meat and vegetables in the crock pot. Add in 2 cups milk and 2 cups Crème de Mexicana. If you don’t have Crème de Mexicana, then using regular heavy cream or half and half is okay.
Season with garlic and herb seasoning, salt and white pepper; cover and slow cook on low for about 6 hours or until the vegetables are fork tender.
Serve hot with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.

What the heck is Creme de Maxicana and where doe’s it come from, or where is it commonly sold at ? Pardon my ignorance, but, am I alone here ? Or maybe just common your way and not mine, if it’s needed, I will do my best to seek and incorporate it into the mix.! Because I would like to give the recipe a shot!
Creme de Mexicana is a type of Mexican dairy product that is similar to sour cream but with a richer, creamier texture and tangy flavor. It is commonly sold in grocery stores in the dairy aisle, usually next to the sour cream and other dairy products. It can also be found in Mexican specialty stores or online.
And P.S.hope I didn’t come off as snotty or snooty ! That’s not me at all, Just interested in good food !! The only thing that doe’s bother me is a soup (or any recipe), that has one putting in a Commercial soup, as a short cut (like cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup) that contain MSG ! that not only takes the homemade out of same but is an insult to good home cooking !! i would hope all that view this would agree !…..
Don’t worry about your question, it’s always great to learn about new ingredients! As for using commercial soups as shortcuts, it’s totally understandable to have concerns about additives like MSG. Many people prefer using homemade alternatives to maintain the integrity of the recipe. Feel free to explore alternatives like making your own mushroom or chicken soup base from scratch. Happy cooking and enjoy the delicious potato soup!
