Ok sorry it took me so long to post back. I made the soup - it was soooo good!! I decided to cook it the way the recipe called for, as I didnt want a disaster to happen and have wasted my time on it if it didnt work out in the crock pot.

I used: skim milk, light cream, sour cream, baked potatoes, bacon, cheese, flour, parsley, onion, and I decided to add broccoli at the last minute for some veggie servings.  It took a long time to make as I had the baby in my arms the whole time so I'm sure it might actually be a quick meal, just not this time around.

I dont think I could do this in the crock pot though - I'm afraid the potatoes will turn to mush and the soup wouldnt get thick like it has to.   But anyway, I froze 4 extra servings of it for another day when I dont have time to cook.  We'll see how well it holds up
