I love to occasionally make this cheesy, smokey, and potato soup! It is a must in my household..I love it that it can be made using my crock pot, since I do not like getting up on Saturday mornings and having to cook lunch. But, not only is it nice due to using my crock pot..it is mostly nice due to its delicious taste! My family always request that I make this recipe again and again! I made it for yesterdays lunch, and it did not last. I also made homemade Italian Herb bread in my Oster bread machine. If you do not wish to make 6 qts of soup, please reduce ingredients.
