Ingredients
  

  • 2 stalks celery, washed and diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into ½-¾ inch chunks
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Add celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and potatoes to a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker or crock pot.
  • Add Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Add chicken broth to slow cooker, stirring until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Place lid on slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours, or until potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • While potatoes are cooking, whisk flour and water in a small bowl until smooth.
  • After potatoes are finished cooking, add the flour and water mixture, heavy cream, and sour cream to slow cooker. Stir until well combined.
  • Replace lid to slow cooker and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
