Cook the bacon in a skillet according to directions on package. Place on a paper towel lined paper to remove excess grease.

Chop your vegetables – onions, carrots, and celery. Cook the vegetables in the bacon grease until the onions are soft.

Add potatoes and bacon to crockpot. Top with cooked vegetables. Cover with 4 cups broth and stir.

Cook on high for 6 hours.

Combine milk and flour in a bowl – stir until flour is completely absorbed and not chunky.

Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the milk/flour mixture. Cook for 1 more hour or until creamy.
