Crock Pot Creamy Potato Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 -4 cups peeled cubed potatoes (I use Idaho)
1/4 cup chopped carrot
1 tablespoon onion flakes (or you can use fresh onion)
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese
1 (10 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
Optional
sharp cheddar cheese (to garnish, shredded)
bacon bits

Preparation

Place potatoes, carrots, dill weed, butter, salt, pepper, and enough water to cover it all in a crock pot. Cover and cook on high 2-3 hours until potatoes and carrots are soft but not mushy. My crockpot cooks very hot on high, so it usually only takes it 2 hours.
Mix milk with flour in separate bowl and then add to crock pot. Add can of soup and cream cheese. Mix well. Stir until smooth consistency and leave in crock pot on low another 20-30 minutes or until smooth and warm.
Serve topped with cheddar cheese and bacon bits if desired.
