Crock Pot Corn And Potato Soup

I had a really great day today at the Amish School Auction here in Oklahoma.  They hold it once a year and it has a little of everything.  Arts and crafts booths, nick knacks, & this and that.  You park in this huge field and spend your time walking and talking, looking around.  The Amish serve a pancake breakfast in the early A.M. and it's really good.  There's a livestock auction, and everything else you can think of auction later in the A.M., as well as an area where a lot of quilts are displayed.  But my favorite thing they have is the pies.  Oh me oh my, the pies.  Since it's only once a year, we usually get 4 pies and freeze them to bring out a little as we go.  They have so many different kinds.  We got apricot, pecan, pineapple coconut, and cherry.  And they never disappoint!  Now that I got pie out of my system, I'd like to introduce you to todays dinner.  Crock Pot Corn and Potato soup.  This soup is dreamy.  I've been making it since Spring and it is so comforting and the calorie count isn't bad at all.  And because it's a crock pot recipe, its fast and easy.
