How to Make Cheesy Potato Soup on a Stove Top

Aunt Lou here.

One of our favorite soup recipes around here that is also a favorite of our readers is our Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup recipe. However, I know sometimes life happens. You forget to put it on early enough in the day or you just did not have time to get this soup recipe in the crock pot early enough in the day. So, I have whipped this delicious soup up on the stove! It is done in a jiffy and is so delicious!

As you know, I am not too fast when it comes to prepping for a recipe. This recipe makes it so I can be doing one step while another step is going. I prepped my potatoes and onions while the water and broth were coming up to boil. Then while the potatoes and onions were boiling, I started frying up my bacon and whipped up my milk and flour mixture. It all just kind of ebbs and flows so that making this recipe is very efficient. I love when it all works out like that!
