Preparation

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour for 1–2 minutes until smooth to create a roux.

  • Whisk the prepared butter-flour paste until blended, then pour it into the slow cooker, stirring well.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the half-and-half (or cream) and peas. Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 20–30 minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning to taste. For a thicker soup, mix a cornstarch slurry and cook on HIGH for an extra 5–10 minutes.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy with warm biscuits or crusty bread.
