No Fuss Potato Soup

It's a good soup and fresh homemade bread day. Here is an easy recipe from my friend and neighbor, Lorene Ashford. (Note - this appears to be the same recipe as in "Taste of Home", with cheese added.)

6 cups diced, peeled potatoes
5 cups water
2 cups diced onions
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/4 cup butter
4 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
12 oz. can evaporated milk
3 Tblsp. chopped parsley
8 oz. cheddar or Colby cheese, shredded

1.  Combine all ingredients except milk, parsley, cheese in slow cooker.
2.  Cover. Cook on "high" 7-8 hours or until vegetables are tender.
3.  Stir in milk and parsley. Stir in cheese until it melts. Heat through.

*Tip - top with chives or crumbled bacon. Craig likes meat so, I add sausage or ham.
