Great minds think alike! I just finished putting the ingredients for potato soup into the crock pot and sat down for a little morning blogging when I saw your post!
Yours looks really yummy.

It's freezing here and now I know what's for dinner. Don't have any Velveeta but I'll find something!

What is Velveeta? Sorry don't know - I live in UK :-)

3/4 POUND OF VELVEETA???!! Yegads woman - you are trying to put those pounds on my hips! I will try this without the velveeta. We like to sprinkle cheese on top of our potato soup.
I like chunky potatoes too, but I like little pieces too. I had some Cracker Barrel potato soup a few weeks ago - YUM. And they serve it with those yummy croutons. You can buy their bread and make your own.
I have veggie soup in the crock pot. Icy here, soup weather for sure!

Oh Yum! That looks good! We love potato soup too, and you've just reminded me that I haven't made any for awhile. I guess I'd better make some plans . . .
