Potato Cheese Soup

Dannielle's Note:

Another crockpot recipe!!! I like this recipe because the morning prep time is limited. I stir in the cheese right when I get home and it gives me time to get changed and set the table, or go for an evening workout.

I cooked mine on low and it was more then done at 7 hours. A very thick soup, I thinned mine after cooking with a bit more milk. Served with extra cheese and chopped green onion for toppings. Hubby and I ate it up with an ice cold beer. Very tastey.

I made this soup today and it was wonderful. I did however do it on the stove top instead of the crockpot because I quadruapled the recipe for a large family gathering. Everyone loved it. It is a little thick but that is an easy fix; just add a little extra broth to thin it. I am looking forward to experimenting with this recipe and subsituting the potatoes with broccoli, cauliflower or turnips. Thanks for a great recipe.
