🍽 Serving Ideas

Serve as a main vegetarian dish with bread.

Or use it as a side dish with grilled chicken, sausage, or fish.

Add a little butter or sour cream on top for extra richness.

Red potatoes or Yukon gold work best because they hold their shape.

If you like thicker broth, mash a few potatoes in the slow cooker before serving.
