  3. Stir in the browned ground beef into the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
  4. Set slow cooker to high and cook for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
  5. Soak remaining diced potatoes in cold water to keep them fresh while the soup cooks.
  6. Microwave the soaked diced potatoes in a covered bowl with a splash of water for about 6 minutes until fork-tender.
  7. Blend the microwaved potatoes with almond milk until smooth and creamy.
  8. Stir the creamy mixture back into the slow cooker, mixing thoroughly.
