- Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the contents of the crockpot until smooth. You can also use a blender or food processor.
- This is a process that allows you to slowly heat the milk, preventing it from curdling.
- Place milk in a bowl and slowly add a small portion of the hot soup.
- Do this, stirring as you go, until the milk is roughly the temperature of the soup.
- Then add the contents of the bowl back into the crockpot.
