I'm not a big fan of potato soup, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also very easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in the crock pot and let it cook all day. When I came home from work, dinner was ready!
