My grandpa swore by this rich depression era staple. Takes exactly 3 ingredients to make a deeply flavorful meal that fills you up.

Ladle this soup into sturdy bowls and serve it with thick slices of crusty bread or simple buttered toast for dipping into the rich broth. A crisp side salad of whatever greens you have on hand adds a bit of freshness, but it’s not required; this soup stands on its own as a full meal, especially on cold evenings.

If you like, offer a little black pepper at the table for those who want more bite, but otherwise let the pure flavors of onion, potato, and broth shine the way our grandparents enjoyed them.

Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Onion and Potato Soup

Servings: 4 

Ingredients
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into hearty chunks
6 cups beef broth
Directions
Peel the onions, then slice them thinly from root to tip so you end up with long, even slices. This helps them soften and caramelize gently in the slow cooker.
