❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Amish Snow Day Soup

1. Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can. Saute the vegetables and garlic in butter first, then transfer everything except the cream mixture to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream mixture and let it thicken on the warm setting.

2. Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

You can use whole milk instead of heavy cream, but the soup will be less creamy and rich. If you want to keep it thick, use a bit more flour in the cream mixture. For the best texture, I recommend using at least half heavy cream.

3. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat it gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often. You may need to add a splash of milk or broth to thin it out as it thickens when chilled.

4. Can I add meat to this soup?

Absolutely. Cooked shredded chicken, diced ham, or even crumbled bacon work great. Add the meat after the soup has simmered and before you stir in the cream mixture. It makes the soup even heartier.

5. Is this soup gluten free?

This version uses all purpose flour to thicken it, so it is not gluten free. You can substitute a gluten free all purpose flour blend or cornstarch. If using cornstarch, mix 2 tablespoons with 3 tablespoons cold water and stir it into the soup at the end instead of the flour cream mixture.
