SLOW COOKER, EASY BAKED POTATO SOUP

Slow Cooker, Easy Baked Potato Soup image

I love this recipe in my slow cooker, especially since there is minimal prep. No bacon to fry, so the slow cooker is the only dish you will get dirty. If you have dry ranch mix on hand, I have really enjoyed this variation!
