I went searching and found your old crockpot cheesy potato soup. here it is for those interested:

CROCK POT CHEESY POTATO SOUP


6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped (6 cups) OR--you can use a large bag of Southern-style hash brown potatoes--the kind cut in cubes
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules or 2 bouillon cubes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 ounces) OR you can use cubed Velveeta in the same amount, if desired
1 (12-ounce) can Evaporated milk (1 1/2 cups)

In a 3 ½ to 4 quart slow cooker combine potatoes, water, onion, bouillon granules, and pepper. Cover; cook on LOW-HEAT setting for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH-HEAT setting for 4 to 4 ½ hours.

Stir cheese and milk into mixture in cooker after initial cook time. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 1 hour more or on high-heat setting for 30 minutes more. Mash potatoes slightly, if desired.

Stir in crumbled bacon, chopped green onion stems, and 8 oz. container of sour cream at the same time you add the cheese and milk, if desired, or these can be served on the side as garnishes for the soup.

Makes 6 servings.


NOW! Here's my question . . . I don't have any evaporated milk. May I substitute just milk? ;D
 
Potato soup sounds good. I think I'll make some for lunch. Thanks for the idea.
 
Questions no 2: I didn't see butter or flour to thicken. Will this recipe thicken on it's own? I'm trying this crockpot recipe because I really don't feel like so much stirring today! LOL
 
I put lots of butter in mine. I don't add any flour because I don't like it to thicken.
 
Oh, yowsa...I am so gonna have to try this. I'm not even hungry and I want to go make some right NOW.
 
We had this for supper tonight. Everyone was pleased. I went ahead and added butter (out of habit) and it didn't need it. I used milk in place of evaporated milk. I'm sure it would have been richer and creamier with the evaporated. I also used Velveeta. Husband thought it was a bit much cheese (I did use extra) but the kids didn't. Go figure.

LOL! I think we've watched and done everything in 3 days! But, I've always put butter into potato soup when I've done it stovetop, so it seemed natural. This recipe really didn't need it.
