Slow Cooker Recipe
Snowmobile Soup
The title of this recipe caught our attention recently. We’re betting it’s a family tradition to have this tasty soup after a frosty day of playing in the snow. Or maybe the recipe title comes from the potatoes floating in the slow cooker. They look a lot like snowmobile tracks to us.
Wherever the name came from, this very hearty soup is just what you want when you come in from the cold. It’s thick enough to be called a stew – add a little more milk if you want it to be soupier.

I dont like potatoes in the slow cooker/ Cook them in a separate pan and add just before serving.
> cooking potato’s that long especially that small for that long. i agree not putting the potato’s in and cooking them separate .
Yum! Thank you!!
sounds good
it really sounds good will make it for work
I like potatoes in the slow cooker just fine, but we have had a problem with puting milk or milk products in and cooking on high. We have had them curdle. I would be more likely to cook it on low and/or add the milk products closer to the end. Sounds yummy though!
I love new soup recipes. Thank you so much, I am just finishing up a taco soup this week. I definitely am going to do this one next. Do you happen to have a good mac and cheese soup recipe.: Tutti

looks interesting think i’ll try it and let you know..will post in a few days..

No need for this soup where I live…It is 80 degree weather..time to start up the grill
lucky you, i think, although i yearn for the cold at the heat of summer. i think.., lol
I must live somewhere near Judy! Weather is in the 80′s. . .not exactly soup weather. Using my slow cooker so I don’t have to turn on the oven! Love my crockpot and SoCal weather!

So because it is 80 degrees you don’t eat soup? I can’t imagine. I even eat soup in the summer… it helps to cool me down.

Is that 1/3 pound ground beef? Or 1-3 pounds? 1/3 pound isn’t very much, heck I don’t think I could even buy that at the store. Sounds good otherwise
> Yes you can. It comes in a 3 pack labeled 1 lb. Just divide into 3 equal portions.
Great soup recipe!My husband loved it!
I like that it calls for such a small quantity of meat. With cooking for just 2..this is more than a large enough amount and will even leave us with leftovers. Will give it a try soon.
Marla,,,yes So Cal! Can you beleive it?
Can this be cooked on low for longer? I like to put things in the crockpot before I leave for work in the morning so they are ready when I get home about 9 hours later. And I always stir in the milk/cheese at the end.
Sounds delicious. I’m not sure I want to sit and cut the potatoes, though.
My food processor has a fry blade–you can use that, I would imagine.

> Karen – use frozen shoe string french fries instead – Rachel Ray uses them in soups.
My husband would want more meat but sounds good I will try.
Soup receipe
I just whipped this up this evening with a few changes to suit our tastes and I absolutely LOVE it.
I used more meat and didn’t go with the low-fat and fat-free options (my partner is a liver transplant recipient and has trouble keeping weight on). Also, all I had on hand were medium potatoes. I used three of them and it made a lot o’ taters! LOL.
I will DEFINATELY be sharinig this recipe.
just dont look very good. dosent even make anybody near hungry around here.
This was great! Left out the onions because of my picky son. Cooked half time on high (2 hours) half time on low (2 hours). Used extra milk for soupier consistency. I didn’t have an issue with the milk curdling. Added 1 t of cayenne pepper for heat. It was great! My family loved it!
Sounds so yummy!
I love to throw in chicken with salsa. So many different things you can do with that!! Sloppy Joes is another favorite!
INFO: The HIGH and LOW temperatures on a slow-cooker actually cook at the same simmer point, right? It just takes the LOW setting longer to reach that point, correct?
For years I thought that LOW meant that the cooking temp. was lower, but it actually does not, due to safety concerns. (I understand that older slow-cookers did have an actual lower temp., but the FDA demanded changes for health reasons).
My favorite is pulled pork sandwiches.
I like to make sauce , that way I can add different meats or noodles and have different meals all week. but the best thing is chili I like 2nd or 3rd day the best
I cooked everything but the potatoes in the slow cooker. I cooked frozen hashbrowns in a separate pan according to the package directions, until golden. Then I added them to the soup. Very yummy!
Made this today – used ground turkey instead – this was awesome! Thanks for sharing another great recipe!
