*I found this recipe on the internet when searching for a crock pot potato soup recipe, it had good reviews so I thought I would give it a shot. It was wonderful! Love it, and love it more because its a crockpot recipe and I don't have to stay in the kitchen hovering over the stove. Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
