3. Add the broth. Pour in the broth. Give the mixture a stir to combine.
4. Season and cook for 3 to 4 hours on HIGH, or 6 to 8 on LOW. Add the salt, thyme, and pepper and stir to combine. 
5. Then Cover and cook until the potatoes and onions are tender, 3 to 4 hours on the HIGH setting or 6 to 8 hours on the LOW setting.
6. Thirty minutes before serving, thicken the soup. Before thickening the soup, taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. 
7. Then Whisk together the evaporated milk and flour in a small pitcher or measuring cup. 
8. Then Add pour this slurry into the soup and stir to combine. Cover and cook until the soup thickens, about 30 minutes more.
9. Serving and holding the soup. Serve the soup with the topping options. 
10. Then If not serving immediately, turn your slow cooker to the warm setting for up to 1 1/2 hours. 
11. Then As the soup cools, some separation might occur, but it’s nothing a stir won't remedy.
12. Enjoy It !
