Cheesy Potato Soup

I am very picky about my potato soup, and I finally found a recipe I approve of.

8 large potatoes, cubed

1 cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 tablespoons dry parsley flakes

6 cup water

2 cup milk

1/2 cup flour, mixed with water

3/4 large block of Vel.veeta cheese (or as much as you want)

real bacon bits (optional)

Place potatoes, onions, butter, bouillon, parsley, and water in the slow cooker/Crock Pot and cook all day (5-6 hours) on low to medium. Thirty minutes to one hour before serving, add milk and flour mixture. I wisk my flour into my milk so the flour doesn't get lumpy in the soup.  I add bacon to my soup sometimes also.  After the soup thickens, it is ready to serve.
