you can easily change this to a cheese potato soup by adding a can of cheese soup and omiting any added salt - my family's ultimate comfort meal!

Good recipe, I used beef boulillon cubes and left out parm cheese. It all got eaten but the fam wants smaller pcs of meat and potat next time...

I used venison sausage instead of kielbasa. Also, beef bouillon cubes instead of chicken. Nice flavor - cooked in less than 3 hours on high...
