You had me at cream cheese!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my this sounds so good!
The addition of the cream cheese is interesting, but I think I will give this a try soon. It's definitely warm and filling soup weather around here right now. I would love for you to come join me for Crock Pot Wednesday sometime. It's a great way to share and receive delicious ideas. Come check it out. This soup would be perfect for that.
ReplyDeleteHow many cups of regular potatoes do you use? Also, do you cook them before you put them in this? Thank you so much for sharing! This looks great!
ReplyDeleteI use 4 cups of potatoes. And, no I don't cook them before hand. Just peel them, cut them up and throw them in. The soup is done once the potatoes are soft. Hope you enjoy it!
