All 3 recipes came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook New Edition

Soup recipe...

1 bag (16 oz) frozen has brown potatoes, thawed (4 cups)

1 can whole kernel corn undrained

1 can cream-style corn

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

1 med onion chopped (1/2 c)

8 slices bacon, crsiply cooked & crumbled (1/2 c)

1/2 t salt

1/2 t worcestershire sauce

1/4 t pepper

Chopped parsley (I forgot to use this)

1. In slow cooker add all ingredients except parsley.

2. Cover & cook on low setting 6-8 hours (or high setting 3-4 hours).

3. Sprinkle w/parsley.

Note: To keep a crispier bacon texture I added half of the bacon 15 min before serving and saved rest for soup topper. Also the book lists a variation that involves using cooked turkey or chicken (chopped up) and to add it 15-20 min before serving.

This was so easy and so yummy! It says it makes 6 servings but we really only got about 4 out it. This would be a easy meal to just start and forget about. Of course a soup like this doesn't require such a long cooking time, the slow cooker allows you to multi-task throughout the day.
