Special Notes

This creamy potato soup is perfect for busy days. The crock pot does all the work while you're away. The key is to cook on low heat to prevent the cream from curdling. The soup can be pureed to your desired consistency. This dish is perfect for cold weather and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra flavor, you can add different herbs or spices.
