How to Make Easy Potato Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
A couple of weeks ago, the kids and I were down at Mom and Dad’s house. Supper time came around, and Momma served up this delicious potato soup that we all loved. She made it on the stove, but I knew I could easily adapt it to make it a crock pot recipe. Not only does it has wonderful flavor, it is really filling and just a great comfort food that even my super picky eater loved. She even asks for seconds!
When making this delicious soup, you will want to watch it closely the first time you make it so you don’t overcook your potatoes when they are cooking. I was watching mine closely and thought it was going to take forever. Then (it felt like) all of a sudden, they were really done, so I drained them immediately. Mine were done after about 2 hours and 15 minutes on high. If I would have let them go to two and a half hours, they would have just fallen apart completely when I mixed everything else in.
