How to Make It
1. Layer the Ingredients
Start by placing the chopped potatoes at the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the butter beans, onion, and garlic on top.
2. Add Liquid and Seasoning
Pour in the broth and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over everything.
3. Set and Cook
Cover and cook on:
- Low for 6–7 hours, or
- High for 3–4 hours
The potatoes should become fork-tender, and the flavors will meld into a rich, comforting base.
4. Adjust and Finish
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning. If you prefer a thicker texture, gently mash a few potatoes into the broth to create a naturally creamy consistency.
5. Serve Warm
Ladle into bowls and finish with fresh herbs or a light drizzle of olive oil for added richness.
Tips for the Best Results
- Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate
- Don’t overfill the slow cooker—leave some space for even heat circulation
- Layer wisely: placing potatoes at the bottom ensures they cook fully
- Add greens at the end (like spinach or kale) if you want extra nutrients
