Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup

Who doesn’t love a nice big bowl of homemade potato soup?  I personally love it, but I don’t usually make it very often because the recipe I’ve been using for years, while extremely delicious, is kind of tedious and not exactly figure friendly.  It involves baking potatoes, letting them cool, peeling them, cutting them, and […]
