Despite the unseasonably warm weather we've been having, I've made the turn to fall foods.  The crock pot has taken up residence on my kitchen countertop, and I've lined up a pile of new slow cooker recipes to try.  Yesterday I tried the first one on the list, and it was a huge hit.  What's not to like about a cheesy, bacon-laden soup?

This soup recipe is super easy and needs at least 6 hours to cook, but can stay in the crockpot for at least 11 hours and still taste delicious.  This recipe requires two steps, and you'll need at least 30 minutes between the last step and the time you eat. 

This recipe is the non-dairy version, but it would be very easy to substitute dairy ingredients for the non-dairy counterparts. 

Kid Review
Martin: "This is the best soup I've ever had."
Sophie: She ate the whole bowl, which is the unspoken version of Martin's review.
