Crockpot Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Crockpot Loaded Baked Potato Soup
This was always a favorite of mine to make in college. I had asked for a crockpot for Christmas and this was the first soup I made in the crockpot and it has been a favorite every since.
We’ve chatted a lot about recipe cards and I pulled out the ones I used in college for this recipe. Brings me back to those fun moments when I first moved out and just wanted my own little kitchen! (Nostalgia)
