It has been so chilly here so early in the season. We have been enjoying wonderful warm meals made in the slow cooker. This time I made a double thick Potato Soup in my slow cooker. Boy was it yummy!

Very filling meal that's very satisfying and can be topped with all your favorite fixings for the perfect customized meal that everyone will love.

This isn't your typical potato soup, it's actually much thicker and heavier. If you're not into extra thick and creamy soups, this is not the one for you.

However if you're like me and are obsessed with anything that has to do with cheesy potatoes, this will be love at first bite.

Soup is almost finished and I took a bite and it seems as though it may be a bit bland. Any idea on how to add more flavour ?

Can I add smoked polish sausage to soup.and if so when we would I add it

Can you use a different cream soup for the potato recipe?

@Cheryl, as long as the measurements are the same, I don't see a problem with it. Might throw the flavor a bit though.
