Oh that looks SO yummy! Now I want some soup lol. Thanks for sharing, adding it to my list of dinners for the week
This recipe “speaks” to me. Must try it!
MMMMMMM going to try this during naptime in a few minutes. I’ll let you know how it comes out. Thanks for sharing
I cooked this over the weekend….YUMMY. 5 stars!! Thanks for sharing
This sounds and looks so good! Going to have to give it a try!
This is a good one. I may try it without the carrots. I love all the slow cooker recipies I am seeing.
Love potato soup! It is such a comfort food!
This looks like the perfect thing to make for my friend having twins. Can you tell me if this freezes well?
I made this today and it was AMAZING!!!! I did not add the bacon or any of the extra toppings because it really does not need anything! I didn’t have Kosher salt, so I used sea salt and it turned out perfect. A new family favorite!
What a wonderful soup! I chopped my carrots into small pieces, and they were not tender at 6 hours on low. Maybe next time I should try thinly shredding them instead? What a great way to get a one’s vegetables. I LOVED this soup and will be holding on to this great recipe.
Love soups,and potatoes,ones!!
I like the idea of using frozen hashbrowns. That makes this super easy. thx
