I love simple, make-ahead meals that I can serve my family on those cold winter days when we're juggling school and about a million other responsibilities. This six-ingredient potato soup slow cooker recipe is super simple and easy to make. It requires no roux, blending, or chopping up potatoes because it includes a bag of frozen, pre-shredded hashbrowns.
Here's how to make an easy slow cooker potato soup that is filling, delicious, and warms the soul:
