Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup
I’ve been on a real soup-kick lately and this ultra-creamy crock pot potato soup recipe is one that my whole family loves.
Crock Pot Potato Soup Recipe
Before anyone says it, yes, I know that Crock Pot is a brand name and that most people these days say slow cooker instead.
I just can’t help it, y’all. A crock pot is a crock pot to me, even if it’s not a Crock Pot. Who’s confused? HA! If you’re interested, this is the Crock Pot I use the most in my own kitchen.
No matter what you call the magical kitchen appliance that it’s cooked in, you’re going to love this cheesy and delicious potato soup recipe.
The pound of Velveeta cheese in this soup pretty much means it tastes perfect. Yep, I said it. This potato soup is perfect!
This soup actually reminds me of the cheddar baked potato soup from Bob Evans which I’ve been obsessed with for many years.

If you’re a huge fan of slow cooker recipes, don’t miss my easy crock pot pork chops.
I love to add some fresh chopped green onions and crispy crumbled bacon to the top of my crock pot potato soup, but it’s certainly good without anything added!
I know it can be sort of overwhelming when you go online to look for great family recipes.
You can never tell which ones are going to be winners and which ones are going to be losers, and frankly, ain’t nobody got time for loser recipes!
Trust me, this potato soup is both easy and delicious.
If you love potatoes and cheese, it’s really a no-brainer.
Oh, and SO MANY of you have asked me for an Instant Pot version of this recipe. I’m so happy to share my Instant Pot Potato soup! Don’t miss it!
I’ll love you forever if you Pin this recipe before taking off, and be sure to let me know how much you loved it in the comments below!

Crock Pot Cheesy Potato Soup Recipe
This easy, cheesy potato soup recipe is the perfect comfort dish for those chilly winter months or anytime you're craving something delicious!
Ingredients
- 6 large peeled, Yukon Gold potatoes cut in 1/2 -inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4-6 cups cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cold milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 pound Velveeta Cheese, cut into chunks
- Bacon, fried and crumbled, optional
- green onions, optional
Instructions
- Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and the chicken broth to a 4 quart or larger crock pot, stir and cook on high for about 3 ½ hours OR 6-8 hours on low, until potatoes are completely cooked and fork tender.
- At the end of the cooking time in step 1, whisk the 3 tablespoons of flour into the 1 cup of cold milk until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the potatoes, add the ½ cup heavy cream, stir then cover and cook for another 30 minutes. Add the chunks of cheese and allow to melt. Garnish with bacon and green onions.
Notes
Note: This recipe calls for 4 cups of chicken broth. You can add another cup at the end if you find the soup is too thick for your liking. If you're shopping for a slow cooker, this one is my favorite. Make a similar version of this soup in your Pressure cooker: Instant Pot Cheesy Potato Soup.
This is soooo good. We have made it over and over again. Really easy to make for people with busy lifestyles.
Trying for the second time! I’m not ready to give up! Last weekend I followed this recipe exact, used the 1lb melting cheese block of velveeta cut into chunks also, but it never ever melted 😳 everything else was cooking just fine! I bumped it up to high for 30 minutes and it still didn’t melt. Should I have used/done something different?
I use 2 bags of the shredded Velveeta. It melts a lot faster.
I’ve been making this recipe for a few years! It’s amazing and always a hit for company! I normally don’t comment on recipes, especially not to add edits. But I’ve added 1-2 scraped and diced jalapeños to the first step of this recipe and it’s so good! Doesn’t add much for spice because I scrape them so much, but definitely adds some more flavor! (Not that this recipe needs more, it’s excellent as is!) thanks for sharing!
By far the BEST! Everyone asks for the recipe as soon as they smell it!
I plan to make this soup this weekend. Instead of chunks of cheese I plan to use a can of nacho cheese. Has anyone ever tried this?
Next time I’ll use 1 tsp of garlic. For it was a little too garlicky. BUT DELICIOUS!
We’re going to make this delicious-looking soup this week. We always use Mexican-style Velveeta cheese for a little zing in our potato soup. Thank you for the great recipe!
This is literally the best potato cheese soup I’ve ever had (or any soup for that matter.) This is a staple recipe in my kitchen now. It’s absolutely velvety, luxurious, and warms you through and through on fall and winter evenings!
This recipe was a big hit at my house. Hubby said he’s never had any better potato soup ever! Thank you for the recipe
I love this recipe, it is so easy to customize! I have made it in the crockpot and on the stove top when I am in a hurry. Both ways are great!
Hey Keely
Just saw you cook this on the stove to make it quicker. I love this recipe but often don’t have the time, would it be too much to ask for your recipe? I’d love to try it.
I understand if you don’t have the time.If you can,
Thanks sooooo much!
Warm regards,
Wayne
Hey Wayne not sure how Keely does if, but I cook the onions and garlic in 4 Tablespoons of butter for about five minutes. Add the flour and stir for about a minute. Then add the potatoes, broth, and seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes. Add cream and milk and cook for about another 15-20 minutes until I like the potatoes texture. Add the cheese. Stir until melted and serve. Hope that helps!
Very good recipie!! I added chopped carrots and celery to this as well as some shredded cheddar with the Velveeta. Delish!!
Hello I want to make this tonight, and I don’t have enough time to cook the potatoes for 3 hrs, can I just boil them in water and then add then to the chicken broth?
I added a can of healthy cream of mushroom and used cubed smoked ham steak. Excellent! Definitely saving this pin!
This is the best soup ever! Making it now for the fourth time and I’ve tried other recipes that do not even come close! Thank you so much for this easy yet very tasty recipe.
Since you’ve made this before can I ask why doesn’t the cheese melt when I add the cheese and it has been cooking for hours did I do something wrong perhaps? Just thought I’d ask
I use 2 bags of the shredded Velveeta. I melts a lot faster!
Best. Soup. Ever.
The End
I could not agree more! :) Thank you so much for commenting!!
Hi Crissy,
I’m making this today & I can’t wait! I’m curious I love keeping the potato peel on after scrubbing. Would they slip off while cooking & affect the texture?
I’ve been making this recipe for a few years! It’s amazing and always a hit for company! I normally don’t comment on recipes, especially not to add edits. But I’ve added 1-2 scraped and diced jalapeños to the first step of this recipe and it’s so good! Doesn’t add much for spice because I scrape them so much, but definitely adds some more flavor! (Not that this recipe needs more, it’s excellent as is!) thanks for sharing!
I added 2lbs of velveta & Crumbled bacon & crmbled croutons on top. It was good.
I didn’t make it yet but I will definitely try. Sounds Good and Not so hard!
I made this but added two boneless chicken breasts, cooked it all for 4 hours on high and then shredded the chicken and put it back in with step 2. Sooooo good !
I’m making this recipe this weekend but wanted to add carrots & broccoli. Would I add these towards the end or at the beginning?
You know, it really comes down to the tenderness you like. If the vegetables are put in at the beginning, they will very soft to mushy at the end. Likewise, if you add then I the last hour, they will be still pretty firm and still crispy. I would add the carrots and broccoli 1/2 way through the cooking time.
Crissy, I can’t wait to try this! Fall is finally here in Ohio????My guy works out in a garage so he’s alway ready for something warm and delicious! Thank you for the recipe❣️
This is my second time making this! Made it last Sunday and everyone loved it, even my picky 8 yr olds. I made this using what I had on hand which was regular Idaho potatoes, it turned out beautifully! I haven’t made it with the yellow gold potatoes but I’m sure it is just as amazing. Very creamy and the ultimate comfort food! We added freshly cooked bacon crumbled up just before serving. This soup makes my heart sing! Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Just made this today. Really loved it. I did make some minor changes, and like another reviewer said, this makes an excellent base recipe.
I put ham in my soup, and also the chopped frozen broccoli that you get at the store, because for some unknown reason, I have a terrible time finding florets.
I didn’t use Velveeta, and instead I used an 8oz bag of the shredded smokey bacon cheese that Kraft offers. Great choice! Most people suggest not using the preshredded cheese because of the lumps that they tend to create, but I don’t mind cheesy lumps personally.
I also didn’t have any half and half, so I used 1/2 cup whole milk and 3 Tablespoons of butter to substitute. Worked out awesome!
Thank you for this lovely recipe! Tasted fabulous, and extremely easy to make!
When did you put the frozen broccoli in? In the beginning or at the end?
If it’s chopped really small, you will want to put it near the end. You could put it in anytime though, but you’ll lose some of the texture. It doesn’t take long to cook chopped broccoli.
Hi! I want to try this recipe, but what is a faster way to make it on the stove. We’ve made similar soups for less than 2 hours before on stove. Any advice?
I bring to a boil and then simmer for 40 minutes on the stove!
I guess I am answering this 2 years later lol.
I made this soup today. Best soup I’ve ever made.
I’m so pleased that you loved it, Diane!
First let me say this Velveeta is not cheese it is a processed cheese product.
I made this recipe and used real cheese a combination of 4 cheeses, Havarti, Gruyere, Fontaina and Cheddar it was amazing. Using a crock pot makes this a mix and forget about it. I used low for 6.5 hours and was able to get everything done and have a great soup at the end of the day. I also think bacon is a must in this soup
Do y’all cover while potatoes cooking in crock pot?
Yes lid on please!
I have always add ham cubed and it is delicious!
This is so good! Everyone loves it and requests it at least once a week!
Hello!!
BEST POTATO SOUP EVER! I have made this twice, and I prefer my second remake of the soup! 4cups of the broth and heavy cream instead of the latter.. It definitely made it thicker, so if you need 4.5-5 cups of broth, go for it, but the heavy cream instead of half and half made a difference for us! Absolutely a killer! I added some potatoes because we like a big bite at my house, but this will forever be a favorite and may never be beaten! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Just wish I knew the calorie count! If anybody has any knowledge on that, I’d be grateful!
So so good. Definitely my new favorite!
Just wanted to add that I used great value “velveeta “ because it was much cheaper and the taste was still wonderful!
This was THE best potato soup I have ever made! Absolutely delicious and everyone loved it! Have made it several times and each time I had so many compliments on how yummy it was! Thanks for sharing!
I made this yesterday evening and added a can of diced green Chile to it after adding the chicken broth. (I am from NM and some spicyness is always good) This meal turned out excellent! I will definitely be making this again! Thank you. ?
I changed this recipe a lot, mostly because I only had a 3-quart crock pot, and from some of the suggestions in the comments. I used only 3 cups of chicken broth, and it still didn’t thicken up. So I had to use extra cornstarch (didn’t have flour}. I also cooked the garlic and onions before-hand mostly because I like the flavor better when the onions are caramalized, so that’s more of a personal taste kind of thing. And lastly I had to add in some spices at the end because it did taste a little bland, but I’m also Southern so I like everything I eat to be spicy lol. But other than that, this recipe was amazing and I’m 100% going to make it again.
This soup is SO delicious. I’m making it right now to take to a soup luncheon with senior adults. I know they will love it, too. For those who have had difficulty with their soup not being thick enough, I had the same problem and added just enough instant potato flakes for thickening. It worked out great! Love the idea of adding corn and may do that this time. Thanks for so many wonderful recipes!
About how many pounds of potatoes would you say your “6 large” are?
I am also doubling this recipe. Do you think a double batch will fit in my 6 qt crockpot? Or will there be too much?
How many pounds of potatoes did you end up using?
Crissy,
Do you have the nutritional information for this recipe, especially the Carbohydrate info.
Both my husband and I are diabetic.
Making this right now and can’t wait to try it. Will definitely rate and comment.
Thank You,
Kim
Yummy! Glad I came upon this recipe! Thanks!
OMG! Best potato soup ever! I added cream of mushroom soup, used 1lb of Velveeta, 2 cups of cheddar and cajun seasoning. My family loved it!
My family loved it!
This is sooo good! My family who doesn’t even like potato soup normally, ate all of it! I added a little bit of chopped celery and carrots and it was delicious!
The first time I made this recipe it was so easy and perfect! This time I made it and it didnt thicken up! I keep looking at the ingredients and I don’t see anything I forgot! What could it be!?
Love this Recipe!! I forgot to comment last time I made this for the wife and kids. This time the end result was the same as the last. Anytime I can find a recipe that results in zero leftovers and zero complaining by any of them….It’s a winner for sure!! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I made this recipe twice in the last month and everyone LOVES it!!! I did add about 4 more potatoes because we like a lot of substance in our soup. I also used great value equivalent of Velveeta and flavor was just as good and over $3.00 cheaper. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for commenting on the great value Velveeta! I will try it.
Finally a good basic potato soup recipe!! Making it for the second time today.We loved it.
Went deliciously. Served with some baguettes. Thanks for the recipe!
Made this tonight. It was excellent and so easy. Thank you!
This recipe is probably going to be my favorite now. It was absolutely amazing! Better than any cheddar potato soup I have ever tried!
SERIOUSLY SO GOOD!!! I substituted 1lb sharp cheddar for Velveeta and put in two jalapenos. TASTE WAS TO DIEEE FOR. I’m making it for the second time right now >:D
I’m enjoying every drop of this soup as I’m typing. Easy to make and beyond delicious. All four kids (one who is super picky) are on second helpings. This is officially part of our Soup for Sunday rotation. “Mom you need to make more of this someday”. -7 year old daughter
Yay, I am so happy that your kids love this recipe! Thanks for commenting! :)
Can cornstarch be substituted for flour for those requiring gluten free?
Hi Virgina, I haven’t tried it so I can’t be sure, but, I think it will work. Let us know how it turned out if you give this a whirl.
Yes, just use half as much cornstarch, compared to flour. Cornstarch has more thickening power than flour, so if a recipe calls for 2 TBSP Flour, use 1 TBSP.
Can this be made on the stove ?
I did mine on stove as I wanted it to be faster than on the crockpot my two toddlers asked for seconds!
This was very good my family loved it, I added bacon in while cooking also
So very cheesy and good.
The best soup I’ve made! We added corn as well. This soup has so much flavor!
Ooh, corn in it was good I’ll bet!
I never comment on these things but I just tried this today and it’s AMAZING! Tastes just like favorite (at chili’s) but so easy to make at home! My husband just tried it and his eyes lit up. Thank you!
I dont think I’ve ever commented on a recipe, if I’m honest, but my family absolutely loves this recipe! My 8 year old had his bowl up to his lips drinking every last bit of it and has been begging me to make it again! lol
We’re making it again and I’m attempting to make a bigger batch this time so maybe we’ll have leftovers! I’m noting the shredded cheese tip for next time as I don’t usually cook with velveeta but make an exception here! Thanks for the great recipe/pin!
Thank you for the nice comment, Britt!! Glad you love it!! :)
I am obsessed with Bob Evan’s potato soup, but the closest one to me is an hr away! I’m so excited to try this but will regular potatoes work I can’t find the ones listed at my grocery??
Hey Kara (love your name, it’s my daughter’s!) any potatoes will be okay!
I made this today it turned out amazing! Probably my favorite potato soup I have made so far. I changed a few things I used the O’Brien frozen hashbrown potato with peppers and onions. I didn’t want to chop potatoes or onions. lol I also added bacon and green onion in each individual bowl with shredded cheddar cheese. This recipe is a keeper thank you for posting it. ?
Ive made this soup so many times for my family! They love it and beg me to make it everytime they are over! I love to make it using a stock pot. its faster and thickens it perfectly! There are not enough stars to rate this recipe!!! :)
This soup was very very good! Also pretty easy to make. I added the bacon and omitted the green onions. I also added some pepper jack cheese! Delish
How many does this recipe serve?
This is the best Potato soup recipe that I have found yet
Wow!!! I wanted to find a good potato soup recipe to try and I am so glad that I found this one. My family LOVED it. They told me before even finishing their first bowls that I absolutely HAVE to make it again. Thumbs up all around from this family!!!
Ate 2 bowls after make it. I want to eat another but I cannot. Lovely, lively, tasteful. I will eat the soup for lunch next week and there afterwards.??
Good base for this recipe! I used cheddar soup instead of Velveeta cheese, wasn’t cheesy enough so I added shredded cheese. The only mistake I made was adding 6 cups of chicken broth instead of 4 and a little too garlicky but I will know for next time. Great recipe still and easy to make!
Cool recipe! Question… Can you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth?
Absolutely!
I’m making this right now and it smells amazing! I used 6 cups of broth and I’m worried it may be too watery. I’m waiting for the cheese to melt right now but if it’s too watery for my liking is there something I can do? Maybe add more flour mixture or heavy cream? ?
I had this same problem. I tried adding some cornstarch but it didn’t help. Curious what others found to help thicken it? It’s good, but just a touch thicker would make it great. Next time I definitely won’t add all the broth.
Hey Amanda, I think cutting back on the broth will solve your problem. Thanks for commenting!
Cheryl – I make this recipe with a can of cream of celery soup (undiluted), 2c. of chicken broth and one pkg of cream cheese. I use regular grated cheese (pkg). Everything else is the same: bacon, pepper, onion – I brown the edges of mine). I do not use garlic, i/2&1/2, i cook my potatoes a little first, and I use 2c. of broth instead of 4-6. See all the liquid that is eliminated? You can always add it later, if you need it. I have been making this for about 15 years and it is my favorite and I am a big soup person. So please give it another try. Linda G.
I know this is late but I keep a bag of instant mashed potatoes in my pantry for this very reason… It’s a great thickener and comes in many different flavors!
This was pure perfection. We both went back for a 2nd bowl. Only thing I changed was adding diced carrots. Will absolutely be making this again and again and again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This soup was absolutely delicious! I’m trying to be a bit healthier, so I only put in half of the Velveeta and it still came out super cheesy and yummy. I also added two little cans of hot green chiles and poured some Cholula on the top of my soup. Wow! Talk about spicy and really yummy!
Sounds amazing, vevvie!
Yummy! I can’t wait to try this. I’ve included your recipe in my recent roundup post on my blog, as well! :)
Just made this tonight for my boyfriend and I and it is SO delicious! Definitely making this again!
I’m glad that you and your boyfriend loved my slow cooker potato soup, Noelle! :) Thank you for commenting!
I am so happy to find this recipe. Very delicious looking. One thing: can you substitute the Velveta for real cheese? Or will it clump up too much?
Thanks!
Hey Laura! I’m so glad you loved it. I know that a few of my readers have used real cheese in place of the velveeta and they said it works very well. I would recommend buying a block of cheese and grating it yourself instead of getting the shredded stuff in the bag. Off the block seems to melt better! :)
Just curious, what size is your Yukon gold potato? Do you have an approximate weight for the 6 potatoes you list? I think I may get better results if I knew the difference of my large and your large! Lol. Thank you for a lovely recipe!
Made this recipe tonight with some cresonts soo yummy!
I didnt find the same potatoes so I’m afraid I might not use the correct amount. Can you tell me roughly about how many cups it would be when diced?
I love this recipe. I was wondering if you have an instant pot version for this soup ?
Debbie, I am working on an Instant Pot version, yes! I’m just not sure when I’ll be able to post it. Stay tuned!
Found your blog looking for a tater tot casserole recipe and my, I’ve bookmarked several of your recipes! Lots of delicious stuff. Maybe because I’m a Midwestern girl, too…Wanted to let you know that your crockpot links in this article aren’t working. So I’m dying to know what your favorite crockpot is! :-)
Can you freeze leftovers
How is the soup with vegetable broth instead? I am making it for a vegetarian.
Any kind of broth will work, any kind of potatoes, any kind of cheese – this a wonderful soup and very adaptable
Any idea on how to make this on an instant pot?
YES! Monica, I have a recipe for that coming very soon. Be sure you’re signed up for my mailing list.
I wonder what happens if you put the cheese in at the beginning. … oops
Deanna your comment made me laugh. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done something like that when cooking! It happens! I hope you’ll try it again. :)
What happened I just did that same thing 🤦🏻♀️ PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW IT CAME OUT
I love this recipe. I added broccoli And some tomato sauce and it gave it a bit more flavor. Super yummy!
I used bacon flavored salt. It gave it a really good bacony flavor. Great soup, thanks for sharing!
This is THE BEST potato soup! Last time i made it i used a little more velveeta and a whole block of cream cheese as well. Oh. My. Goodness. ? everyone raved! I always serve with shredded cheese, real bacon bits, and green onion. Thank u so much. This has been a hit with so many relatives and friends!
Delicious!! I’ve been looking for a good potato soup recipe since having it for the first time at subway 2 years ago and this is the first one that has even stepped up to the plate!! Not quite subway potato soup but still sooooo good loved it!!
I was a little skeptical, but this was delicious. I used a 32 oz bag of frozen diced hashbrowned potatoes, and it worked beautifully–for those who want to make this even easier. It looked like a lot of garlic and onion, but ended up being perfect. I also threw in some precooked diced ham at the beginning and it added some yummy flavor and texture. I think my husband liked this best out of anything I’ve made lately. I can see this being good for a potluck. Thank you for a keeper recipe.
Love this soup and freezes well
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe!! I didn’t have heavy cream so I added evaporated milk ( I Googled it). This has become one of my family’s favorite meals!!
This was delicious! I added more garlic because I like it that way. And everything else exactly as written. So yummy!
This was amazing!!! Im very very picky when it comes to potato soup,I have never made it because I’m so picky I always got it from a certain restaurant (O’Charley”s) but I made this and OMG it was delicious and my husband agreed!!! So thank you soooo much for this recipe!!!
I’m out of my house for at least 12 hours. Do you recommend shorting the time by an hour so it doesn’t over cook?
Delicious! Even my meat-loving husband thoroughly enjoyed this version of potato soup. However, potatoes not as tender as he likes in time, so we transferred everything to stovetop and finished up.
I don’t have veleveta. Can I substitute for cheddar? I know it won’t be the same, but curious since I don’t want to wait to make it!
Hey Amanda, I think it will be great! Lots of people have made it using cheddar instead of the processed cheese. :)
Can you freeze this soup?
Delicious. I used sharp cheder cheese instead of Velveeta.
Loved thia recipe! I added carrots and celery; awesome!!
First of all, this recipe is wonderful. I tweeted it about to my liking and it came out amazing. I used 6 cups of broth instead of 4 and left out the garlic and green onions. It was a hit and I’ll definitely be making it again.
This was absolutely fantastic!!! The cheese didn’t overpower the flavor, it was nice and mild, but definitely present. It was smooth and creamy and so, so good! My son (age 9) wants me to make it all the time, now. The recipe says 4-6 cups of chicken broth. I chose to go right up the middle with 5 cups. It wasn’t thick, but certainly not watery, either. I’ll stick with 5 cups. I used white pepper as opposed to black pepper just because I like the smooth flavor of white pepper, but beyond that, I followed the recipe exactly. It’s going to become a staple menu item at our house.
Glad you liked it!!!
Has anyone ever tried to freeze this?
I made it tonight and it’s delicious. If you like it thick I recommend 4 cups of broth. Definitely try it!! Thank for you the great recipe!! ?
That looks delicious!!
I will be going on a soft diet. This will be great for me
My family can not get enough of this great soup!
This looks fabulous! Cheesy potatoes, is there a better soup combo???
This is absolutely delicious!! Actually making the recipe for the 3rd time today. It’s amazing!
So happy that you love it, Tiffany! Thanks for commenting and rating my recipe! :)
This sounds so good. Going to try it for sure. Love that some one else calls all crock pots, crock pots. I have been corrected many times, but they are still crock pots.
I did not get Velveeta. Do you think sharp cheddar or mozzarella would work?
Cheddar would be good! :)
How can I make this in an instant pot instead of crock pot?
Which cheese we can use instead Velveeta ?
A cheddar and monterey jack blend would be good.
I substituted cheddar cheese for velvetta, adds a diffe Flavor to the soup!
Hi I’m confused on do you do step 2 at the beginning of 30 mins before it’s done lol someone help I’m making it now
AFTER 3 ½ hours on high OR about 6 hours on low, do step 2. Hope this helps! :)
This asks for velveeta… can I use regular cheese? Same amount?
Hi Dany, that should work!
Dany – How did this work out using a pound of shredded cheese instead of Velveeta? This is what I’d like to try.
Made this last week. Best potato soup I’ve ever had. We had everything on hand but the onions and bacon so I didn’t bother with those two things and it was still amazing. Hearty, creamy, and the family wanted seconds! Definitely a staple soup in this kitchen.
Hi Cassie, thank you for commenting and I’m so glad you love the soup! :)

Makes me so hungry to look at photo of soup. Will need to save other 2 recipes. We love soup for supper in warmer weather, that way not eating heavy meal but eating nutritious food. Will enjoy this soup very much. When people get older often don’t want or need to eat big meal. I will be 77 in July and hubs was 75 this past Oct.
Enjoy your weekend
