After a hectic week, this was really the perfect Sunday meal.  Generally when I make soup, I take the  time to sauté the vegetables but in the slow cooker the flavors have time to come together without taking that extra step.

We are huge fans of soup for dinner. I think I was just too picky as a kid to enjoy it. These days Italian Gnocchi Soup and Creamy Ham and Potato Soup and Tuscan Sausage Potato Soup and of course our favorite Easy Chicken Noodle Soup are on constant rotation. 

When we have smoked sausage on hand, Red Beans and Rice is always a favorite comfort food meal. 

Potatoes are on the menu just about every night of the week and we love these Bacon Cheese Burger Twice Baked Idaho Potatoes to change up the dinner rotation.

The Idaho Potatoes were perfectly tender and the smokiness of the sausage was the perfect compliment to the dish.  I hope you give this one a go soon! It is definitely going on my fall meal rotation!

Idaho grown potatoes have a high solids content, so there's more potato and less water. The high quantity of starch grains cook to a light, fluffy texture and full, firm appearance when properly prepared.
