Wow ! Its Busy Day Slow Cooker Chicken and Potato Soup for Dinner !
This soup is the perfect supper dish for a busy day. If you put the ingredients in the crock pot early in the morning, or even the night before, it makes it so much easier to just turn the crock pot on four to six hours before you plan to eat. You can basically set it and forget it, but you should stir it a few times during cooking time so that the soup doesn’t burn or stick to the sides of the slow cooker (which has been known to happen even with cooking spray in our house). Makes a great colder weather dinner dish!
