My house smells delicious at the moment and it’s all because of this super-easy recipe. I actually saw an article about cooking soups in the crockpot and it had me convinced that I needed to try a potato soup recipe. I went with what I had on hand and it was the perfect combination.
As the writing of this recipe, the soup has a little bit longer to cook before I had in the cream/milk. It gives it a smooth, comforting texture.
The trick to the ease of this recipe is using the pre-cooked sausage crumbles. I used the Turkey sausage crumbles but really, the choice is yours. You can cook up your own sausage, you can use italian sausage. The possibilities are… well you know.
