Slow Cooker Cheddar Soup

Nothing’s quite as wonderful as being able to incorporate CHEESE into a piping hot bowl of homemade soup comfort!

Soup recipes are something I happen to have A LOT of. For me, soup is comfort food done right. And it serves the purpose of lunch, dinner, and after school snack no matter when I have a pot simmering.
