Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I was just wondering if yo can cook it on high? I am thinking you can since it says it takes 5 hours on the top of the recipe but says to cook 8 hours on low in the direction?????
The "over 5 hours" at the top of the recipe is just a classification. Always follow the cooking time within the recipe. I personally wouldn't try cooking this particular recipe on high.
I am wondering if anyone can help with a slow cooker chunky potato soup that uses real potatoes and not frozen ones

I tried this "soup" tonight and like another reviewer said, it's more like a chowder. That makes it a very satisfying meal. I used refrigerated hash browns. I added another half cup of shredded cheddar to give it a bit more of a cheesy flavor. I also added a dash of Tabasco sauce after serving. Yum!!

This is a great recipe. The flavor of the soup is fantastic. I found that using shredded potatoes, the potatoes kind of disappear into the soup, and the second time I made it, I went with southern-style hash browns, with more satisfying results. Also threw in a handful of leftover frozen corn I had for added texture and flavor. My crock pot cooks a bit hot, so I wound up having to add a bit of water back into the soup when serving. This became an instant favorite for me and my family.
I want to try this recipe and was wondering if you could substitute 2 cups of milk for the 2 cups of hot water/1 cup of nonfat dry milk powder?
Honestly I'm not sure. I think I'd be worried about the milk curdling. You could try evaporated milk?
Really wanted to try this one but could not find frozen schredded potatos in my area. Hash browns yes but nothing else. Can any other type of potatos be substituted?
: Shredded potatoes would be the same as hash browns. The recipe just specifies that they should be the loose kind, not the hash brown patties.

This is one of our family favorites. This isn't your "typical" soup. This has more of a chowder texture. Very thick and creamy. My husband was FULL after one bowl. The kids love it too! I also liked that I could make this in the morning and let it sit all day. Serve with warm bread or fresh rolls. YUMMY! It will definatley warm you up after a long winter day.
