"Found this gem in the Simple & Delicious magazine submitted by H. Thompson. I made a few small adjustments to please our family. I love the addition of the fresh veggies to the potato soup - just gives a nice twist to the normal soup. Great for providing a vegetarian dish too at potlucks."

I dont know what I did wrong but this came out greasy and flavorless, I followed all of the directions correctly but its 100% un-edible

I put this in the Crock Pot last night before I went to bed. Made it up ahead of time for tonight, since I will be busy today. . Of course my kitchen smelled so good I had a small bowl of it already. Great flavor! Tonight I will be serving these in bread bowls. Thanks for the Great recipe. Enjoyed it this morning I am sure I will enjoy it twice as much tonight!

I want to review this again. My first one I just did not look it over before I sent it. Spelling errors. This soup was wonderful. Making it in the crock pot was so easy. I thought I had frozen peas in the freezer but didn't. I noticed that when I added the milk/flour mixture it thicken up really fast. Thanks for sharing this recipe, its the best!!
