Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform cubes. Thinly slice the onions into half-moons.
-
Layer the Pot: Place the onions at the bottom of the slow cooker and top with the diced potatoes.
-
Add Liquid: Pour the broth over the vegetables until they are just submerged.
-
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours. You want the potatoes to be very tender and the onions to be translucent and soft.
-
Finish (Optional): For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup directly in the pot, or mash a few potatoes against the side with a spoon.
-
Serve: Garnish with a crack of black pepper or a few fresh herbs if desired.
