Notes
- no time to sauté the onions and garlic separately? We recommend it as it adds a depth of flavor, but we get that sometimes you're in a hurry. Whisk together the flour and one cup of milk until well combined, then add all ingredients to the crockpot and stir to combine. Cook as directed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove, stirring occasionally until hot. Add milk to thin, if needed.
- Freeze this soup in a freezer container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator then reheat on the stove or in the crockpot until hot, using milk to thin, if needed.
- Serve this up with our favorite Baguette Bread Recipe for a yummy meal.
- Enjoy this soup with bacon! Cook and break up 1 pound of bacon. Stir it into the soup about 5 minutes before serving to heat through.
- Try this soup with extra veggies! We love adding 1 cup chopped zucchini, 1 cup cut green beans and 1 cup frozen or fresh corn for a variety of veggies.
- Add ¼ - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes for an absolutely delicious spicy soup!
