Notes
To prevent your Crock Pot Crack Potato Soup from becoming too watery, avoid overcooking the potatoes. If the soup is too thin, you can thicken it by mashing some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker or by adding a bit of cornstarch or flour slurry towards the end of the cooking time.
