By garciamoss

Imagine a trip to eastern Europe without leaving your kitchen! Your slow cooker will take you on a potato soup journey accented with paprika, dill and nutmeg.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3 inch cubes
• 4 cups low sodium chicken broth or 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon smoky paprika
• 1 teaspoon hot paprika
• 1 teaspoon celery seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 white onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup nonfat milk

Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes, broth, smoky paprika, hot paprika, celery seeds and salt in 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to cooker and cover.

Cook on low 4 to 6 hours, or until potatoes are tender. Stir to break up potatoes into broth for a slightly chunky consistency.

Add dill, nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in milk. Cover. Cook 20 to 30 more minutes, or until heated through.
