Slow Cooker Potato Soup
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Slow Cooker Soups
Every time I make this, I get asked for the recipe. My family prefers this recipe over any restaurant's potato soup. Serve this with shredded cheese, bacon, and/or green onions as toppings. Someone at church also added sour cream to make it like a loaded baked potato.
"We tripled the recipe and used it to feed about 50 people at our Wednesday Night Dinner. It all fit in a buffet cooker and we had to cook the soup at about 275 in order for it to be ready in the same amount of time. It was really thick and we had to add more water to thin the soup. Absolutely delicious and very filling." - timgraham1Yield: 16 Ready in 7 hours
