🍲 How to Make Slow Cooker Amish Snow Day Soup
Step 1: Combine and Slow Cook Vegetables
In your slow cooker, add corn, onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery. Pour in the broth, stir well, and cover.
Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 2: Partially Blend for Creaminess
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup. Blend just enough to make it creamy but still keep some chunks for that hearty Amish texture.
Step 3: Warm the Dairy
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and heavy cream until hot (but not boiling). This helps them blend smoothly into the soup.
Step 4: Combine and Season
Pour the warm dairy mixture into the slow cooker. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper.
Let it simmer on LOW or WARM for another 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh parsley. Serve it with warm rolls or buttered cornbread, and you’ve got the perfect winter meal.
