  1. Well, I made this today….and as I usually do, made a change or two! Very good. I sautéed 1/4 onion and about a 1/2 C celery in avocado oil. Added chunked organic boneless thighs from TJ to precook a bit. Used Yukon gold small potatoes, a couple of carrots, sour cream (did not have any cream cheese), made own spice mix of onion salt, chili lime, salt, pepper and 21 seasoning from TJ’s. Sprinkled already shredded cheese (about 2 C rather than 4). And at last minute threw in some frozen peas for color! I smooshed the potatoes a bit to thicken. It turned out great. I will try to follow recipe next time!!!! I was in the mood for a cheesy potato soup so found yours.

  2. How would I change this to cook in the crockpot/slow cooker?? I don’t have my IP yet but would love to try this soup.
