trying to make some cheesy potato soup in the crock pot....first time to try that lets hope that works. Cuz I have the diced bacon all ready for the garnish

Easy Crock Pot Potato Soup

Ingredients:

1 30oz. bag of frozen diced hash browns
1 32 oz carton of chicken broth
1 can of condesned cream of chicken soup (10 oz)
1 pkg. cream cheese (8 oz, not fat free)
3 oz bacon bits (REAL bacon bits, such as Hormel brand, not imitation bacon bits, which is what BacOs are )
1 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Put the potatoes in the crockpot. Add in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and half of

the bacon bits. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until potatoes are

tender. An hour before serving, cut the cream cheese into small cubes. Place the cubes in the

crock pot. Mix a few times throughout the hour before serving. Once the cream cheese is

completely mixed in, it's ready to serve. Top with cheddar cheese and some additional bacon

bits.

note: I just put all the bacon bits in right off the bat......THEN added more for garnish....if you're gonna be a bacon lover do it right!

Why would anyone want to use a crockpot to make soup? Seriously, you make it twice as good in half the time using REAL ingredients on the stove. Yes, I use commercially available chicken stock all the time, but everything else is fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Much healthier, and you can control everything, including the amount of sodium. (and yes, I use low-sodium stock)

Nola is too weak for regular sodium.

Who knows? Maybe he's punishing his kids for some transgression.

[jelgate]

That is why we should beat SQ. Or at least throw the nuts really fast to give her welts

[Nolamom]

really fast and hard - are you any good at pitching baseballs? A good fastball with a walnut would do it.

[jelgate]

That is what the high pressure cannon is for

Check with M5 Industries. The Hyneman has one for sale cheap, I hear.

[jelgate]

Pfft. I don't pay for things

I used real ingredients I used potatoes, onions and chicken stock.....salt and pepper to taste....threw in the milk, flour and cheese at the end (last 30 minutes) and it was delicious. There was nothing processed in that...well except for the chicken stock but I use lower sodium chicken stock.
