Crockpot Potato Soup for Weight Watchers

Submitted by Treewoman

"I have not tried this yet, just got it from a friend who has been making it weekly and says it's easy and very filling, with 3 1/2 WW points per 1 cup serving. I can't guarantee that it's "Weight Watchers". It looks like a basic soup that other vegetables could be added to (such as broccoli or cauliflower) to add nutrients without adding a lot of calories. Note: after seeing the calorie and fat count on this, it doesn't look like a weight watchers' item! However, I'm keeping it on here for a filling, easy soup that I'd like to try."

I have made this many times. It is the easiest soup I've ever made and it is delicious. I always add some crisp bacon crumbled up into the soup at the end of cooking. It is also really good to put some shredded cheddar cheese on top if you really want to go nuts!
