Great recipe, so quick and easy, tasty and cheap! Did everything the night before and kept in my slow cooker pot until morning. I've never done potatoes in my slow cooker so for me the potatoes will a bit too al dente (i like them mushy soft in soup) so next time i would cut them quite small. I also feel like maybe a half teaspoon of lemon juice at the end would be good just to cut through the richness of the cream and evaporated milk. And a pinch of dried chilli flakes, little enough that it won't make it taste of chilli but just enough to bring the flavours out. - 24 Oct 2014
Very rich but extremely tasty. I used gammon steaks cut into chunks instead of bacon. I will do this recipe again but i might add some sweet corn next time - 12 Nov 2013
this was delicious but it is very rich and heavy so 1 bowl was enough for everyone. Leftovers went nicely over chicken breasts as well. - 23 Jan 2013
