Recipe: Slower Cooker Potato Cheese Soup with Wieners

It is so cool to be me. I am a judge in a Fall/Winter Soup Contest. Mr. Big Food tells me there will be a lot of entries. 

I am excited. There's talk of a greens & homemade sausage soup. I've had this before. It's not bad. 

Here is some more discussion about the soup's fine qualities.

Here's the recipe for our current favorite, the second entry.
