How to Make Hearty Potato Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Whether Fall has arrived (as it has now) with its brisk breezes and cool nights or you want a delicious soup to fill you up while not heating up your kitchen in the summer or spring, this Hearty Crock Pot Potato Soup is definitely for you!
So, from a Former Fall Hater, soups like this one are a big part of the reason I am now a full blown Fall Lover! I love the soups, hoodie and toboggan (what us Southern Hoosiers call a knit/crocheted winter hat) weather and sitting around a campfire to keep warm. This soup really does have it all. There are so many delicious ingredients that come together to give you a filling and flavorful soup that is sure to be a family favorite winter, spring, summer or fall (any James Taylor fans out there?).
By the way, if you are wondering about the cooling time I added to this recipe, it is to save your tongue. You see, we dug right into this delicious soup and all ended up with burnt tongues. It is one of those, we burn our tongues so you don’t have to kind of times. 😉
