    Comments: This recipe came from Kraft and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to give it a try. I did make a couple of changes to the method but not the ingredients. First, I didn't cook mine in a slow-cooker. I used a large pot. I didn't remove the 4 cups of potatoes after they were cooked but used a potato masher and simply mashed some of them in the pot. I also added my sour cream at this point instead of serving it as a topping. Using the large pot cut the cooking time to about 1 hr. total but if you're looking for a dish you can put on before going to work, do follow the slow-cooker directions. Now for taste. This has to be one of the best soups I've ever cooked! And I have to admit that it was even better the next day after the flavors blended. This is a must try recipe for anyone who loves a good, creamy soup.
