Some people think of soup as a side dish, something that isn’t meant to be taken as seriously as any main course. It’s probably safe to say that those people probably haven’t tried this to-die-for potato soup recipe from All Recipes. The recipe takes no time at all to prepare — all you have to do is combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. Here’s what you’ll need:

10 red potatoes, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup real bacon bits
1 small red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 tsp pepper
1 cup half-and-half (or table cream)
