Copycat Bob Evans Potato Soup

Copycat Bob Evans Potato Soup

With our mini heat wave in Michigan coming to a close end I thought everyone would enjoy a potato soup recipe. If you have yet to have Bob Evans potato soup, you are in for a treat. If you have had it before then you will be able to compare this copycat recipe I found on Pinterest. I like to cook all soups in a crockpot if necessary; therefore, this recipe will be tailored for crockpots. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe like I have, but if you have any ideas on how to make it easier, or improve the recipe comment below.

 Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 4 hours on low: Give best judgement based on how hot your crockpot cooks. With one of my crockpots I cooking everything on warm because it cooks at a warmer level. (warm = low on that crockpot)
