• 5 medium potatoes, large diced
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup diced celery
• ½ tsp dillweed
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cup half-and-half

2. Add chopped leeks; saute until leeks are soft and bacon is crisp.
3. Drain excess grease and transfer to slow cooker.
4. Add potatoes, carrot, celery, chicken broth, and water.
5. Add dillweed, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and cook 6-7 hours.
6. 30 minutes before serving, whisk together half-and-half and flour in a medium bowl.
