Notes

I used honey gold potatoes in this recipe but you can use russets or red potatoes if preferred.
Substitute half & half for the heavy cream to reduce fat and calories.
Adjust the salt & pepper levels to your taste as the soup cooks.
This recipe was made in a 2.5 quart crockpot.
Recipe can be doubled - be sure to use a larger slow cooker.
Store cooled leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. We don't recommend freezing this soup.
