How to Make Cheesy Fiesta Potato Soup for Two in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

This Cheesy Crock Pot Fiesta Potato Soup for Two takes a favorite soup recipe in my family and makes it into a recipe for people who need fewer portions. The portions of this soup are hearty and filling. It really is one of those comfort food recipes that you will come back to again and again. Even better, you cook your potatoes right in your crock pot, so you there isn’t an extra pot to wash! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

(If this recipe sounds good, but you need more servings, you can find the original recipe with 6 to 8 servings here.)
