Crockpot Baked Potato Soup

CROCKPOT BAKED POTATO SOUP



I stumbled upon this recipe on my new found addiction, Pinterest (props to Molly for pinning it).  I'm always searching for recipes that allow me to utilize my crockpot.  This recipe appeared too easy and I didn't have high expectations.  Boy, was I wrong.  This was delicious.  Matt loved it, but asked me to add some additional protein  To satisfy his request, I may add ground turkey next time.  Perfect comfort dish for fall.
