Tonight I was trying to recreate something I had made previously that ended up much closer to a soup, and accidentally ended up with something felt more like a stew. The up front cost may seem a little high depending on your preferred ingredients (I live in the midwest, arrived at $22.45 ignoring sales and accounting for unused ingredients), but by the time cooking is done it fills a 6 qt crockpot and it's decently filling–my leftovers filled a large casserole dish and about half of a medium-sized tupperware container. I'm not really a skilled cook so this could probably use some refinement but hopefully it's a good base for someone else!
Ingredients (separated roughly by order of addition to pot):
——————–
5 carrots
6 potatoes (~1.5-2.5lb?)
3 chicken breasts
1 stick salted butter
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups heavy cream
1.5 cups Parmesan
2 cups mozzarella
Steps
——————–
1. coat bottom of cooker with olive oil
2. cube chicken, slice potatoes/carrots and add to pot
3. Add broth, stir everything around a bit
4. Add butter
3. Cover, cook on low for 6.5 hours
4. Add heavy cream, stir thoroughly
5. Add Parmesan and mozzarella, stir thoroughly
5. Cover, cook on low for 1 hr
6. season to taste, add flour for thickness as needed (1/2 cup for modest improvement–may be difficult to dissolve into the liquid)
