Crockpot Potato Soup couldn’t be  easier and is a great comfort food. It cooks all day in the slow cooker and is ideal for a cold day. For the best potato soup, top with bacon, cheese and scallions. This soup is versatile: add broccoli or ham for a special touch. This will become your favorite crockpot potato soup recipe.I know my husband dreams of us moving to a colder place one day, but I really don’t like cold weather.

I really like it. Today it was 39 degrees here in Florida and I wanted to curl up and do nothing all day. That is normal?

Or do some people feel invigorated by the cold weather?I braved the cold during my college years, and I don’t think I took off my pea coat for the entire four years.
