I quickly put this soup together in my 3-1/2-quart size crockpot, and within 3 hours & 15 minutes, the soup was done. When making this soup, I didn't add any salt, as it didn't need it; plus the canned chicken broth and croutons I used, I purchased from Aldi's. One of the cans of broth was, Chef's Cupboard (it was 99% Fat Free) and the other was Fit & Active Chicken Broth (which was a low-sodium broth). The croutons I used were, Tuscan Garden Classics Cheese Garlic Croutons, and did they ever taste great in the soup!

Lisa, Gary's Potato Soup sounds quite yummy! I'm looking forward to making this soup.

The recipe I posted above, was also featured in the Simple & Delicious Magazine, in the April/May issue of this year, on page 25. Here's the link to my recipe at the Taste of Home site...

Lisa, about Gary's Potato Soup... I just happen to see in the instructions for cooking the soup, it states in the 4th line... Add butter and garlic salt, soups and gradually pour in milk. But I don't see butter listed in the ingredients, nor the amount to add. Lisa, could you or Gary tell me how much is needed to add to this soup???

Lisa, today I made Gary's Potato Soup. I actually doubled the recipe, but I added 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and I found while I doubled the recipe, I only added 1-1/2 cups of milk, which made for a nice creamy bisque. After my hubby and I each had a bowl of soup, I ended up tossing in some frozen corn kernels, plus some cooked, crumbled, bacon, to the remaining pot of soup, which really made the soup taste even more delicious! With the corn and bacon added, there's no need to top the soup with cheese or bacon. I also wanted to mention... that I did not remove any of the potatoes from the soup to mash them and re-add them back to the soup. I noticed half the potatoes already cooked down into the soup, which help to make the soup nice and creamy. In all this was a really delicious, tasty soup. Thank you Lisa for sharing this recipe!!

Yw DG!!! Thank Gary (Grandpa) tho, it's his recipe. All of us on this board really loves it. Great idea to add the corn & bacon, and I think adding chunks of chicken would be good, sorta be like a chicken-corn chowder. Glad you liked it!
